Today, I went on a #Socalsteemit Hiking Meetup for the first time! Led by local expert and 75% Bighorn / 25% humanoid, 
Bighorn Sheep are notoriously shy, but this pair of rams were on a mission to access the river. The big, muscular alpha ram chuffed and lowered his huge crown of horns menacingly as my dog yipped and postured. That muscular ram has a family to protect!
This encounter with the living subject of many thousands of years old petroglyphs cuts through the ordeal of lugging other people's garbage out of a wilderness area.
The Bighorn has been a figurehead of indigenous people in my locale for more millennia than anyone truly knows for sure.
These powerful beasts are emblems of how Truth is made manifest on this physical plane. Their spiral horns describe the nature of the Universe. They demonstrate the unity of physical and spiritual nourishment and the thriving of we humans who depend upon them.
