“The blue jay spoke to me... everything is and will be fine..”
My brother-in-law shared with me this Christmas that one day he was all stressed out from a seemingly impossible task at work; he happened to look out the window and saw a blue jay perched on a tree branch. At that instant he remembered and experienced what the shaman he met some time ago in Yellowknife had said “... all the answers are in nature... we just have to be still and listen.”
And everything was fine.
