The message I got from that was about a mutual relationship, and the possibility that what appears to be selfish taking - such as picking flowers or woodpeckers drilling into trees - can actually be the source giving freely to the receiver.
Also from Building Beautiful Souls is this possible meaning; |
Oh, what a lovely native story! Thanks for sharing! And thanks for sharing the other post too!
Flickers are pretty cool. They have been leaving me lovely feathers. :)
