I am waking up, and owls are on my mind.. I am picking up my phone, and my friend is messaging me about them. I am walking outside of my house, and right next to it I am finding this poor little baby lying on the ground..
It looks like it was possibly trying to escape from a larger predator, and it flew into a cactus.. Such a precious and beautiful creature! I buried it right next to a big saguaro..
Here is a good article about owl medicine:

"Owls have long been associated with both death and wisdom. Owl knows that all apparent manner of death is in fact a liberation into a new life. Owl can take us beyond those thoughts and fears, for Owl sees far into the future and knows that even after the darkest night there is a new dawn that is approaching."
This encounter inspires me to honor the spirit of an owl messenger through my art.
