Coyote

This photo taken by Geraint Smith.

I saw a coyote while running this morning. It has been at

least a year and a half since I last saw my old friend.

I never told you all the story about how a coyote came in

to the gallery where I worked a couple years ago. It was afternoon

around four o'clock on a late Summer's day. I was sitting at the

computer in the office and I heard the ringer go off to alert me

that someone was there. A few seconds later a coyote stood

staring at me. Now the really amazing thing is that this coyote,

not only had to come to town to see me, he had to go through a

closed in courtyard and through two rooms with small doors.

I talked to a man who knows a lot about coyotes and he said a

coyote would never enter a space like that, well mine did :-).

Coyotes have always brought me messages by their appearances.

Sometimes I get the message, sometimes I don't. I have been thinking

hard about what that coyote was trying to tell me this morning.

It feels important is all I know for sure.
