Totems

Some cultures have moved pass the idea.

  I have not.

It makes for an easy description.

I used to be the Coyote.

 I was the Trickster.

Teach by slight of hand.

Simple misdirection used to keep emotions in check.

Slowly changing,

 I had no choice.

I am now the turtle.

  Personally,

    I prefer tortoise.

Moving slowly,

 I carry the world on my back.

Supposedly wise,

  I can't help but glance from side to side.

I may be a tortoise,

 but the coyote is still inside,

   waiting to play.

Being true to yourself and spirit is wisdom but we need to be connected to time and place- totems are powerful spiritual and connected- I travelled to Alaska - powerful place and mystical will return before my end- carrying world on your back can be wisdom accumulated but as soon as it becomes a bondage- set it free- wonderful poem- special and deep🌹

Thank you. When I was younger, I was able to hike into Hava Supai. The gradual change is amazing. Walking from the rim of canyon to the falls is hard to describe. The tortoise is something I can relate to. We carry a load, and often look irritated. With everything around us, still we move forward, knowing there is still more.
