Agreed. Is there a way to introduce areas that have that attachment to make the same as elders tried back when to have work yet allowed in zones with there animals. So a slower safer style? Like they do law. Is there a attachment for this type of life style? The amazement of eye for eye could have been mistranslated. Cause the factor a eye built by one to make two is the example of the reason a law for others to be informed once a attachment of bond is created the factor of the importance of there life devotion and compassion teaching to exclaim for a brighter new ecosystemattic worl or area for the new change. Also. Those tree limbs burn per day. 21 tons. Dont forget how important the trees are elders grew many white reflective proof as the ash moon reminds us usually nightly of the we have a law of land to grow so we can keep eternal light going.

Crows communicate with each other. Make friends with a crow and their family and friends will know. Harm a crow, and its family will hate you for generations, and they will tell other crow families.

I never knew I needed to see a video of a baby and crow until I seen it. Absolutely adorable video and the name Russell is perfect 💯👍

[@gblackburn31]

My grandmother was Blackfoot Cherokee, she would tell us stories of how the crow served the Great Spirit and would transport souls to their destinations after their human life died. She would say sometimes crows would lend their bodies to good souls to visit loved ones before their journey . I'd say your young one was blessed by a elder of your family who's passed. I would feel honored to have that happen to my children. God bless
