As we move into the Summer Solstice I celebrate the “Time of Coyote!”
We have been beginning to walk in the Santa Monica Mountains again. 2024
I was not feeling well enough but my two sons went for a walk today.
Guess who popped out of the wild to show up?
Coyote.
Youngest son said Coyote had a big grin with tongue hanging out and then leaped away.
Coyotes are magical animals who only let you see them if they want to!
I know Coyote knows me, and also knows my two sons, because Coyote showed up in the wild to say hello!
What an awesome delight that is to know!
Driving towards home the dark night held all the romance that a woman could ask for. Falling in love after 30 was not a goal. Looking out of the passenger seat coyote was eyeballing my lover. He looked back at the wild thing that was part of a mythology deep in this hill’s subconscious. Hadn’t he been on top of coyote hill and tasted the nectar of adventure? Once on top years earlier coyote turned to look as coyote defined his territory. A wild thing knowing all those living there. A sacred path that went on for generations.
