Last night I experienced a most amazing thing. About a week ago the wind split a dead tree, blowing half of it down onto my yard and leaving half still standing. At dusk I took the dogs outside. While I was waiting for them to do their business I happened to look up at the standing portion of that tree. Something was odd. I looked closer, thinking maybe I was seeing nests in the tree. As I examined it again, I realized the four shapes I was seeing were not nests. They were owls! I live in a city of 64,000 people and owls are not a common site here. I listened to their call. Then, imitating it, I called to them and received an answering call back. As I kept watching, two more owls joined the others to bring the total number of owls in the tree up to six. What an incredible sight! I called my husband and eldest son outside so they could witness it, too. I said to my husband, "Now there's something you'll only see once in a blue moon." Indeed, it was a Blue Moon last night. :)
Since the owl is a symbol of ancient feminine wisdom (Goddess/Moon Power), I feel very blessed to have seen this sight not only on the night of a full moon, but on the night of a Blue Moon. I know this is a sign of new lessons and knowledge to come. I am excited, and up to the challenge. What a blessing!
