Black Bear - Give Us Our Space!

Today, a Black Bear mother popped in to say that she had a few words to say about humans and their view of Black Bear.  She said that humans see the black bear as angry, confrontational and destructive.  She feels sad about this.

Her view is that humans interfere too much in the lives of Black Bear, especially when she is with her cubs.  She will do anything to protect her cubs from over zealous humans.  And, these humans call her angry and destructive.

Black Bear says, “Give us our space.  Honour our role in creation and in the maintenance of the wild.  Treat us with respect and we will not become angry that you are in our space.  Give us time to raise our young, and then we will disappear to the higher country.  We must be at lower levels to show our little ones how to hunt and feed the food that is not higher.  It is what it is.”

Bobcat Wisdom

With a gray to brown coat, whiskered face, and black-tufted ears, the bobcat resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus. It is smaller than the Canada lynx, with which it shares parts of its range, but is about twice as large as the domestic cat. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped, stubby tail, from which it derives its name. – from Wikipedia

In my meditation this morning, the animal that knocked to come in was “Bobcat”.  She offered that she had some thoughts to share, and that her kind will be showing up as guides for more and more people.  She said that Bobcat has even been accepted as a “pet” in some homes, although, in her mind, the Bobcat moved in as a guardian.  
She says: 

• Look to us as guides about being adaptable to environment.  We inhabit wooded areas, as well as semi-desert, urban edge, forest edges, and swampland environments.  You think that you can survive in only one place.  Begin to experiment with being in different areas.
• Find a healthy food that agrees with you, and eat mostly that food.  Your body will become healthier, leaner, and better able to support you.  You will be immune to diseases that plague others that eat a multitude of different, unhealthy foods.
• Understand the time of day that provides you with the most energy.  Bobcat moves when our prey is active - from just before sunset to midnight, and again for about three hours around dawn.  If your work does not fit your sleep pattern, perhaps you should change your work, or, simply ask for a different schedule.
• Our coat is multi-coloured so that we camouflage easily in all terrain.  How do you camouflage yourself?
