Buffalo

Meaning:

"Cosmic grandfather who controls life's gates and brings abundance. Returns in cycles to remind humans of gathering in the sacred. Teaches that viewing your life against Great Cycles brings deep relaxation."

Teaching:

Seek wise ones when you cannot solve problems alone
Lay your suffering at their feet—hold nothing back
Honour the earth and all fellow beings
Hold great gatherings to feast in synergy
Let go of past pains and honour human family
Life provides everything you need

Contemplation:

"What divided parts of my life need to be gathered back into synergy?"
