Coyote

My dream about my spirit animal

My eyes fluttered open as I felt warm air brush over my face. My eyes adjusted to the dim light and glowing orbs the surrounded me. With another puff of warm air I turned my eyes towards the source of it... Coyote. 

The biggest Coyote Ive ever laid my eyes on was standing just two feet away from me. Gazing at me with a combination of gentleness and curiosity. Its large paws, easily the size of my head were planted firmly on the floor. Its bushy tail swayed side to side with ease. Coyote shifted and its muscles flexed as it stepped forward. My heart began to beat rapidly, Coyote drew closer. 

Within seconds Coyote stood over me and bowed its head. Coyotes eyes locked with mine, brilliant bursts of amber and gold ran through them. In Coyotes eyes, I saw love and strength. Power and kindness. I saw years of tradition, transformation and fire. I saw myself. 

Coyote lowered its head and rested it on mine. I felt its soft, luxurious fur graze against my cheek. I felt our spirits align. As Coyote and I became one, those glowing orbs flashed, the wind kicked up and wrapped us in its warmth. And, in that moment I knew, Coyote chose me.

A very good tale. In the Native American myth. Coyote is the wisest and the joker. He saved the forest often and he caused great pain with his humor. A coyote is a dream could have many meanings. All of them good. Thank you Mckenzie for sharing the excellent story.

I met the wild coyotes often in the desert when I was in the Army. I drive a water tanker. They would wait for me every morning. I would dig them a water path. My decide soldiers decide to call me Sgt. Coyote because of them. And you are welcome.
