The Distinctive Calls of Owls

Published on Nov 26, 2013

Most owls are nocturnal, and they use their voices to establish territories and attract mates in the dark. Several species begin nesting during as early as midwinter, which is one reason why you can often hear them in fall and winter, when most other birds are quiet.

Paula, I was thinking about posting this here.

I guess I'm an owl too, night owl that is.

I guess I'm an owl too, night owl that is.

If OWL shows up, it means:

• Meditate in silence each evening for the next few days and see what is revealed.
• This is a ripe period to tap in to the intuitive wisdom.
• Quietly observe, watching and listening for signs that give answers to questions.
• This is a significant time for prophecy, and you will see, hear, or feel events before they actually happen.
• Your most creative cycle now is the night. Set aside time in the evening to work on projects.

If OWL is your POWER ANIMAL:

• You see what others don’t see, hear what others don’t hear, and can discern truth behind falsehoods.
• You’re an old soul and have an inherent wisdom that continuesto expand.
• You have a finely tuned awareness and sensitivity to others.
• One of your gifts is the ability to foresee the future.
• You’re able to contact the spirit world through clairvoyance and clairaudience.

If I may here Paula and Wind on your Owl post. I just had to.
On the Owl topic, here is some awesome info on Owls and ET Experiencers how they go hand in hand. Meet Mike Cleland. The Owl man and Experiencer.




From his website:

Owls and the UFO abductee:

This is a long format essay where I attempt to unravel the the mystery of why so many UFO abductees report weird owl experiences. There are reoccurring accounts of screen memories throughout the literature, but this is something much more elusive. Much of this reporting comes from my own direct experience.

For reasons I don't understand, owls are somehow attracted to people who tell of direct contact with the UFO occupants.

I need to thank all the people who helped me with this report, your willingness to share has been a powerful gift to me. Thank you.

"Instead of trying to get beyond our personal history, we need to learn to relate to it with as much clarity and compassion as possible, so that it serves rather than obstructs our healing and awakening. This also means relating in similar fashion to our tendency to spiritually bypass, casting a lucid, caring eye upon the part of us who buys into us."

"When we remain outside or removed from our fear, we are trapped by it, but when we actually do get inside, cultivating intimacy with it, we are no longer trapped by it, discovering--and not just intellectually--that it is but darkly contracted energy, a knotted-up vitality that can be freed when we become intimate with it."

"Real shadow work does not leave us intact; it is not some neat and tidy process but rather an inherently messy one, as vital and unpredictably alive as birth. The ass it kicks is the one upon which you are sitting; the pain it brings up is the pain we've been fleeing most of our life; the psycho-emotional breakdowns it catalyzes are the precursors to hugely relevant breakthroughs; the doors it opens are doors that have shown up year after year in our dreams, awaiting our entry. Real shadow work not only breaks us down but also breaks us open, turning frozen yesterday into fluid now."

"The Peace Pipe". The song of Hiawatha and other poems. By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.



On the Mountains of the Prairie,
On the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry,
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
He the Master of Life, descending,
On the red crags of the quarry
Stood erect, and called the nations,
Called the tribes of men together.
From his footprints flowed a river,
Leaped into the light of morning,
O'er the precipice plunging downward
Gleamed like Ishkoodah, the comet.
And the Spirit, stooping earthward,
With his finger on the meadow
Traced a winding pathway for it,
Saying to it, "Run in this way!"
From the red stone of the quarry
With his hand he broke a fragment,
Moulded it into a pipe-head,
Shaped and fashioned it with figures;
From the margin of the river
Took a long reed for a pipe-stem,
With its dark green leaves upon it;
Filled the pipe with bark of willow,
With the bark of the red willow;
Breathed upon the neighboring forest,
Made its great boughs chafe together,
Till in flame they burst and kindled;
And erect upon the mountains,
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
Smoked the calumet, the Peace-Pipe,
As a signal to the nations.
And the smoke rose slowly, slowly,
Through the tranquil air of morning,
First a single line of darkness,
Then a denser, bluer vapor,
Then a snow-white cloud unfolding,
Like the tree-tops of the forest,
Ever rising, rising, rising,
Till it touched the top of heaven,
Till it broke against the heaven,
And rolled outward all around it.
From the Vale of Tawasentha,
From the Valley of Wyoming,
From the groves of Tuscaloosa,
From the far-off Rocky Mountains,
From the Northern lakes and rivers
All the tribes beheld the signal,
Saw the distant smoke ascending,
The Pukwana of the Peace-Pipe.
And the Prophets of the nations
Said: "Behold it, the Pukwana!
By this signal from afar off,
Bending like a wand of willow,
Waving like a hand that beckons,
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
Calls the tribes of men together,
Calls the warriors to his council!"
Down the rivers, o'er the prairies,
Came the warriors of the nations,
Came the Delawares and Mohawks,
Came the Choctaws and Camanches,
Came the Shoshonies and Blackfeet,
Came the Pawnees and Omahas,
Came the Mandans and Dacotahs,
Came the Hurons and Ojibways,
All the warriors drawn together
By the signal of the Peace-Pipe,
To the Mountains of the Prairie,
To the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry.
And they stood there on the meadow,
With their weapons and their war-gear,
Painted like the leaves of Autumn,
Painted like the sky of morning,
Wildly glaring at each other;
In their faces stern defiance,
In their hearts the feuds of ages,
The hereditary hatred,
The ancestral thirst of vengeance.
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
The creator of the nations,
Looked upon them with compassion,
With paternal love and pity;
Looked upon their wrath and wrangling
But as quarrels among children,
But as feuds and fights of children!
Over them he stretched his right hand,
To subdue their stubborn natures,
To allay their thirst and fever,
By the shadow of his right hand;
Spake to them with voice majestic
As the sound of far-off waters,
Falling into deep abysses,
Warning, chiding, spake in this wise:--
"O my children! my poor children!
Listen to the words of wisdom,
Listen to the words of warning,
From the lips of the Great Spirit,
From the Master of Life, who made you!
"I have given you lands to hunt in,
I have given you streams to fish in,
I have given you bear and bison,
I have given you roe and reindeer,
I have given you brant and beaver,
Filled the marshes full of wild-fowl,
Filled the rivers full of fishes:
Why then are you not contented?
Why then will you hunt each other?
"I am weary of your quarrels,
Weary of your wars and bloodshed,
Weary of your prayers for vengeance,
Of your wranglings and dissensions;
All your strength is in your union,
All your danger is in discord;
Therefore be at peace henceforward,
And as brothers live together.
"I will send a Prophet to you,
A Deliverer of the nations,
Who shall guide you and shall teach you,
Who shall toil and suffer with you.
If you listen to his counsels,
You will multiply and prosper;
If his warnings pass unheeded,
You will fade away and perish!
"Bathe now in the stream before you,
Wash the war-paint from your faces,
Wash the blood-stains from your fingers,
Bury your war-clubs and your weapons,
Break the red stone from this quarry,
Mould and make it into Peace-Pipes,
Take the reeds that grow beside you,
Deck them with your brightest feathers,
Smoke the calumet together,
And as brothers live henceforward!"
Then upon the ground the warriors
Threw their cloaks and shirts of deer-skin,
Threw their weapons and their war-gear,
Leaped into the rushing river,
Washed the war-paint from their faces.
Clear above them flowed the water,
Clear and limpid from the footprints
Of the Master of Life descending;
Dark below them flowed the water,
Soiled and stained with streaks of crimson,
As if blood were mingled with it!
From the river came the warriors,
Clean and washed from all their war-paint;
On the banks their clubs they buried,
Buried all their warlike weapons.
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
The Great Spirit, the creator,
Smiled upon his helpless children!
And in silence all the warriors
Broke the red stone of the quarry,
Smoothed and formed it into Peace-Pipes,
Broke the long reeds by the river,
Decked them with their brightest feathers,
And departed each one homeward,
While the Master of Life, ascending,
Through the opening of cloud-curtains,
Through the doorways of the heaven,
Vanished from before their faces,
In the smoke that rolled around him,
The Pukwana of the Peace-Pipe!

It's not easy to face yourself or face your past. I remember ignoring my ex every time I saw her and I also remember pushing thoughts when they came to my mind. Then, you realize that you need to face your fears, let them grip you, shake you and still survive. I remember in the last Samourai, Cruise spent one night battling his alcohol addiction and it was so painful. The next day, he was so calm.

It's also not easy to face oneself. I see a lot of people taking out their mobiles or turning on the radio when they are alone. They're running from themselves.

He reminds me of a Rainbow Warrior I once met. My boyfriend and I were looking at a town called Nimbin on the internet, it's in the Tweed Valley, on the Great Dividing Range. We dream of living in the Tweed Valley and we decided to go on a trip to visit Nimbin for the first time. We were getting all excited about our trip, the day before we left, and we were talking about how we belong there and my boyfriend said, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we got there and someone said, I've been waiting for you". I smiled and said, "yeah but I wouldn't expect that to happen darling". So we finally arrived there and stopped at an old style candle factory. I stepped out of the car and looked over to a hippie who was sitting in his van with the door open. He was wearing rainbow coloured pants and was shirtless and barefoot, he had some pouch around his neck and had long hair, he was the classic Rainbow Warrior hippie. We locked eyes and he says, "I've been waiting for you!" I was stunned and I must have had a look of disbelief on my face because he continued and said, "I was. I was going to leave but then I thought, no I'll wait for one more person to come and then move on. Welcome home, family". My boyfriend and I ended up spending about two hours with him in that carpark. He told us about how he's on a disability pension because he's been deemed insane. He spends his life travelling in his van and he told us about some of his adventures. We also spent a good amount of time learning Falun Gong with him, he is an instructor and we had never heard of it before. We never asked him his name, it seemed irrelevant and he never asked us our names. I hope we meet him again one day, we both fell in love with him that day.

Edit: Damn it, the man in the video is a street performer, I'm not so besotted now...ah well, at least he reminded of the Rainbow Warrior. <3
