A beautiful prayer full of hope Pat. We certainly need that and kindness at the moment to help us shake off some of our fear. I hope your blue feathered owl stays close beside you throughout this ordeal. Are those your lovely grandchildren in the pic? Keep safe my dear friend.

They look to be wonderful young people. We have also had some sunshine today for which I am grateful. Sad news that our PM is in intensive care with Covid. His condition has worsened.

Beautiful photo and amazing poetry. I enjoyed how you described the Blue owls. If we listen to the animal world. We would be wiser. Thank you dear Pat for sharing the amazing poetry.

You have an uncommon gift, Pat. Your vision is boundless, your metaphors quintessential. I read through your postings with eagerness. You touch the soul of nature's bounty of flora and fauna with genuine humility and awe. It is refreshing to feel the shadings of Native American lore in your words. I too love to feel the syncopated melody in the night air and the day's writhing intricacies. You touch a responsive chord with me. There is a Native American themed piece among my scribblings of similar mood and insight. I will find and share it here. -- Doug

Perhaps the sun has risen, but is covered with clouds of sadness as we live each day with fear of the CoronaVirus. Even though we have Social distancing, we can smile and celebrate Easter in the venue of our home. Thank you for your gracious complements as you read sampling’s of my poetry. Nature is always there to share the awesome beauty of flowers and waterfalls.
truly be blessed . Pat

A sincere and touching prayer Patricia Wedel that we all need in these calamitous times to survive and make it through day to day. Hopefully things will open back up and we all go back to our normal lives. You are right for we need many forms of healing.

I'm sorry for those people who are not thriving under social distancing (the cries are constant on FB), but your poem reminds us there are many ways to partake of life, many living creatures to enjoy, beyond the human connections which are mostly banned or done distantly for now. When I moved here 10 yrs ago, I felt distanced in a tough way, but then I started looking around at all the abundance out here & I realized there's no end to what we can discover in wildness. Your poem is one of many ways we can tap into the wild intelligence "out there"! Love the spirit of your message! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

It is Mystical at this time in history that we have a Virus that makes us very Blue in Spirit... wondering if we will survive or become a Spirit... a Native thread 🧵 is close to my heart since My son’s two daughters are half Navajo Indian as their Mother’s heritage is embedded in our family tree. My granddaughters are beautiful and my son is Hungarian and Scotch Irish. It will be wonderful to return to an environment where our Beautiful World will survive with beautiful people. We need a World Organization that will clean up the Country from where this Virus originated. Let us pray diligently that we can get to the Roots if this matter and quickly. Amen... prayerfully, Pat

Many of us have American Indiaan "ties" and as time goes by, we are proud that we do. When my son and daughter were young, I would drive them to the U.S.Capitol grounds and we would visit the Rotunda of the Capitol and once sat in the Gallery of the Senate that was in session. We visited the U.S. Botanical Gardens by the Capitol. I once was a Secretary in Congressman Frank Horton's Office in the Rayburn Building and had parking under the building. I took shorthand and typed letters to Constituents on different Concerns and entered the info into a huge Computer system according to the Subject in order to followup with the Constituents. Those were precious days. My own personal Education. My association with talented and educated Poets is a beautiful way to spend my silver and golden years and continue my education. truly, Pat

When thinking of a healing bird, a pure white dove usually comes to my mind, but here the poet features a blue feathered owl. The loving and protective qualities are the same, and the poem comes across as a prayer. Perhaps the image is part of the lore of some indigenous group.
