http://www.evergirlart.com/2012/10/11/2227/ my  first art east event!  Finally, I get to  participate in something in my  hometown!

As a small  child I used to talk to my  grandparents  on the  telephone  before  going to bed. Before saying  good bye my  grandfather would tell me he was blowing me a kiss . I remember him asking  ,"  Can the phone cord reach the back  porch?  I replied," yes". He said," that is wonderful. Now go stand on the porch and tell me when you are ready!" 'Once on the porch he would say,"  okay  I am  blowing you a  kiss let me know when you  get it. " Sometimes it would  be  seconds , other times  minutes and  sometime I would tell him you missed me! 

45 years later when  I feel the wind on my  face I  think of someone blowing me a kiss. If I  stop to pay close attention I  swear I am catching some of those kisses I missed so many years ago.

 Thirty  32 years a go a  boy  by the name of David  Ponis  gave me a totem as a birthday gift.

When I left  to  join the army I  left it with a  friend. That friend  died this month and so I have brought the totem home. 
In an  envelope  taped to the  back of the totem I  found this: 

The eagle is symbol of the zenith.
A great reminder of your own ability to soar to great heights.

Eagles are messengers from heaven and are the embodiment of the spirit of the sun.

Those with an Eagle totem need to have an involvement with creation;
a willingness to experience extremes;
a willingness to use your ability
even if it means getting "scorched" a little as you fly high;
a willingness to seek out your true emotions.

A demanding totem, but one that offers so much reward at the end of the journey.

Its four-toed feet remind you to stay grounded even went soaring high;
Its talons remind you to grasp the things of the earth;
Its sharp beak shows you when to speak, how much, and how strongly.

This totem will show you opportunities and how to ride the winds to your benefit.
Eagle people can live in the realm of the spirit
yet still remain connected and balanced within the realm of the Earth.

You must become much more than you ever dreamed possible.
