Dear Brave Souls: this week three people I know have sighted deer and elk during their hikes, and stood in communion with them in deep ways...
My father used to say, [as the deer, reindeer, elk, stag, along with eagle, the great white stork and the huge Hungarian steppe horses are totem animals of the Hungarians]
...
"Ven ve see peppel fromme de dare fah milly ve see der peppel Crea tore cre ahted feerst'-- [meaning] When we see people from the deer family... we see the people Creator created first." Pinkola Jozsef.
This comes with love for all who love the creatures, who are according to my dad "the first created people." Tender love, truly, remembering.
Dr.e
This particular elk reminds me of the story of Ferdinand, the bull who loved to smell flowers. Male elk are also called bulls.
- from Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
