Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Day: January 11, 2024


Saw this on FB last night

I want to share more of my dreams… last night I was sitting on a rock and a beaver approached me. She was kind of silly, and pretty chunky. It appeared as though we had a friendship already as there was familiarity and an unspoken bond. She came close and drew my attention to something very tiny on the rock next to us. I looked closer. It was a little white turtle. I picked it up and let it meander around on my palm, stretching its little head to look up at me. I was very happy to see this white turtle. Then it walked off the side of my hand and landed in some tall grass. I tried to look for it but it was too small. The beaver then told me “it’s okay. This turtle will grow and grow. There is lots of life down there you can’t see. When she is nice and big we will call you back to see her.” 🤍 #chiefladybirdart #dream #whiteturtle #beaver #illustration #woodlandstyle #neowoodlandstyle #anishinaabe #digitalart
