An important thing happened at the farm today; after a year of thinking, waiting, and experimenting, Maria figured out how to draw a raven. It sometimes takes months, even years, for her to do that. She was the first to sense the power of the Raven in our lives; I am fully into the symbolism of this fantastic creature.
The more I learn about the Raven, the more I want to know. In my mind, it’s the new symbol of Bedlam Farm.
Maria isn’t sure what to do with these images – a hanging piece, quilts, something new. I think the Raven will help her decide.
We are getting to know the two ravens who nest in the maple tree outside our bedroom.
I was as sick today as I remember being. I slept all morning (food poisoning) and then again all after and evening. I just woke up. Maria left me alone to sleep all day. I think it was the most sleep I’ve ever had.
I’m able to eat now – soup and I hope to do some reading tonight. I’ve not been able to all day.
When I woke up, Zinnia was sitting on the footstool, watching over me as always. She’s a spirit creature, also. I’ve changed so much and learned so much. But I’m still too sick to write much.
She was sitting there for hours as I slept. Maria was waiting to show me her sketches; she had long waited to do them. Her ravens are beautiful; she will perfect them and be part of something new, creative, and beautiful.
I don’t know how it works, but this seemed a big thing.

Glad you are feeling better. Any chance you are developing an intolerance to certain foods (e.g. seafood or fish) rather than food poisoning? Usually if it is true food poisoning, everyone gets sick from the meal or item. Sometimes happens as we age. Regardless, sending warm thoughts to you and many thanks for your wonderful words and photos.
Thanks for your concern, Alex, I’m going to let the doctors figure it out….I’m actually in pretty good shape now..we live in the country, we buy and eat a lot of raw vegetables…Some of it has stuff on it, i don’t think it’s any more complex than that…Everybody around here gets it once in a while..
Immediately after I read your post, I opened my next spiritual email and this is what it said! Coincidence?!
“Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?”
Luke 12:22-26
wow…
