The Crow
I have always felt at home with the magic in the trees and the flowers in this beautiful southern land.
After a near-death experience in 1975, my soul left my body. During the time that I was gone, I learnt much of journeying in a strange world. When I had recovered my physical health, I found that I could intentionally throw myself outwards and travel around the borders of that strange world again. This frightened me, and I stayed away for thirteen years.
Tragedy brought me back to the journey. I foolishly tried to pursue the soul of a loved one but I was stopped by a great crow. Through personal grief I learnt instead to find the simple contentment of the green growing things.
Since then I have travelled often with the small creatures who share my daily environs.
