THE WIDOW SERIES- NATURE HAS A WAY OF HELPING WITH GRIEF

 This morning when sitting in the tub I heard a crow caw. Then it cawed for several minutes.

I have not heard the crow in my yard for quite some time.

The day Adolph died (June 23, 2020) there was a double rainbow. Then after his body was taken from the house by the funeral home, Sonya stayed with me for a couple of hours. Suddenly a crow started to caw in the backyard loudly. I had never had any crows in my yard previously. 

There are mystical reasons crows appear. Look it up if you want more clarity.

The Fall of 2020, I was cleaning the garage and cursing and complaining and being in a real pissy mood. Suddenly a crow flew down my street and landed in the Oak tree outside the garage and started to caw at me loudly for several minutes. I calmed down.

So my first trip anywhere to Tobermory in 2021, a double rainbow appeared on the first night.

A sign?

The notion a cardinal appears when your angel is near. Well I have a pair of Cardinals that live in my yard.

The first few months after Adolph died, I would go outside in the front sitting at my little table and a cardinal would come and sit in the tree chirping. Doesn't happen anymore.

So why did the crow call to me today? And why did I hear it so distinctly.

Is there a message? Or was it just a crow cawing?

Nature is all around us. Paying attention to the wind, the sky, the trees, the birds, the animals can bring inner peace and joy.

I find that if I listen to what nature has to say I sometimes find some meaning in the message.

I am a reasonable, practical person that does activities with organization and efficiency. 

However, there are many things in life that can not be explained nor do I try to explain them.

I am processing a lot lately and coming to some resolutions so maybe my friendly crow was letting me know I am going to be okay. Honestly, I do not have any answers. I just know I paid attention.

How about you? Has nature given you some answers to your life?
