The Raven and the Barn Owl
It was night, dark, and all around the barn there was silence. She was suddenly confronted face to face with The Raven. The Raven swiftly flew about the barn in a spiral motion as if to call her attention. She could hear his invitation, taunting her, teasing her, reminding her of her latent powers. Suddenly she remembered, as she could feel the ease and natural pull to simply open her arms wide, spread them as she would her wings and she began to fly. First, running up against the towering barn walls and then suddenly turning, flipping, and soon she bagan to soar as if she never missed a single day of being in flight. The sensation of infinite power returned to her being and body and suddenly she felt alive again. They began to fly in unison, dancing and weaving through the barn and she exclaimed to him, “You see, I can fly also! I have not forgotten!”, and they began to laugh of joy for they were together again, and she was in her true form, free to be and express her love in motion. She had not forgotten how to shapeshift, and he brought her to this place so that she might remember. “Barn Owl, do you remember now my love? This is but one of your abilities. I cannot tell you who you are, only you can discover it on your own. Only you can remember. I can only guide you to the places where you can remember.” He said to her as they both shifted back into human form and fell to their feet upon the barn floor, dust rising as they felt the weight of gravity overcome them once more. “I remember now, the Barn Owl was one of my favorites, oh the sensations, I cannot believe how long it has been.” She said to him as she patted down the sides of her body with her hands, regaining her human sensations.
