I had a dream.

It was a good dream, and it did not vanish from my memory when I awoke as some of my dreams are want to do. In my dream I saw my Grandmother... I miss her so. Sometimes I feel like she is the only one who ever understood me.

She told me that the Earthmother has a plan for us all, and that father will forgive me eventually.

I was still upset, I didn't even want to talk about father.

She talked to me of the coyote. I raised my concern, that he is often viewed as a trickster and as a bringer of death. She replied that those are only a part of his nature. Coyote completes the cycle of life, and he also brings new life. He plays tricks as a way to remind us to be mindful of our actions. He shows us how the consequences of our actions can affect more than just ourselves and that we must learn from our mistakes if we intend not to repeat them. Roakkeal's paper tells me that coyote is also a shape-shifter, a transformer of personality. He too symbolises change. I will honour coyote...

Oh one more thing... Coyote's philosophy is that no matter how difficult or dire a situation we find ourselves, we must always take time to laugh...

Ha.
