We have lots of coyotes around. Every other night I can here them calling and yipping. According to some of the neighbors, there is a group of dens in the hills and pastures between us and the highway two miles away. The coyotes will come up to our fence line. Theyre surely checking out the horses and perhaps hoping to catch one of the cats away from the shed. In fresh snow I like to follow the tracks they leave as they chase mice.
Yesterday on my drive into work a line coyote, a fairly large one, stood at the edge of the road and watched me pass by. In my rearview mirror I caught him crossing the highway.
Was this an omen? What meaning did this experience have? What message was God or the Creator trying to give me?
Of course, that coyote may have been out hunting and just needed to cross the road – a coincidence that I happened to pass by. But, with the pending visit of an Elder and a new determination to focus in on the school atmosphere it seemed muchore than a random event.
Am I to keep an eye out – watch all directions as I take these new challenges? perhaps it is simply a good omen to see Coyote at this time? This last one speaks most clearly me. It does feel like a time where Im looking for reassurance in my work.
What ever the reason, thanks for the visit, Coyote.
