Crows Speak~from April 3rd 2012 Herbs & Things newsletter

I still find them amazing even after 57 years of living here on this same corner....What you ask?
The animals.
We could learn so much from them if we'd just 'listen' watch and learn.
I've had 3 crows visiting my front lawn, area around the house and barn for the past few days. With them they brought a personal message, which I've processed and will ultimately try to apply to my life.
But they've made me again aware of how, nature uses nature to live and doesn't destroy it's self in the process.
Marty and King, the horses, are shedding their winter coats. When they roll around in the corral, they leave white patches of hair on the ground.
Thus, I've been enjoying watching those crows, working hard gathering that hair, and with beak full of white hair, almost like a chipmunk with stuffed cheeks...they fly to where I assume their 'home' is. What's really cool besides the contrast of the white hair against the black color of the crow, is how they can build their house, with nothing but left overs from Mother Nature, in the form of twigs, hay, and or hair from shedding horses.

When I thought about it, I asked myself, are those twigs, hay strands and loose hair really seen as left overs?
I don't think the crows look at it like that. I think they see the hair as a found treasure of white in the middle of a corral.
It's the way nature is...one species provides for another, in some shape or form... they in one way or another co-exist.
Now if only we, the human race could do a better job of co-existing and adapting with nature such as this, we and the earth would be so much better.

What if Crow comes to you, what message could it bring? Crow speaks of magic around you...and good luck. They speak of the magical ability to re-create your life.
Crow is adaptable to it's enviroment, they work as a family and with each other in their community. they usually have a appointed sentinel which warns of danger or sometimes a treasure in a corral for building nests:)
