Stellar's Jay (tl'aay tl'aay) Messenger

[Becks]

On Wednesday I had an amazing visit by an Honourary family member from Haida Gwaii. Her auntie in law was somebody I was named for. Becks comes form Rebecca, which is my middle name. Nunni Becky was a special lady. She is remembered fondly, as we sat in the living room we were talking about the old generation of ladies the old Nunnis that are called the 'blue-haired ladies', because of the grey hair, a fat and cheeky stellar's jay (tl'aay tl'aay in Haida) was on a branch outside the big picture window outside the living room. While the Stellar's Jay is the BC bird, it is not common where my Mum lives. She hasn't seen one in her yard in years. While we we're talking about Nunni Becky the Jay was out, and I gave it some toasted pecans. We haven't seen it since, and I know the Jay was a sign from Nunni Becky-one of the blue haired ladies.....a tl'aay tl'aay is a lovely deep blue. I appreciate the signs. How'aa

So beautiful ! We had a similar experience ... My husband's aunt and uncle both live in West Virginia. ..every year around his uncle's birthday, his aunt invited the entire family and friends to stay with her. It was a week long vacation of family , too much food , playing music on the porch and four wheelers in mud. Seriously fun times. She sadly got cancer and died years ago. We went up one last time and everyone missed her. We were gathered in a huge circle of chairs in the back yard under a tent. Along came this bird. It just hopped around inside the circle like it was family. We all knew it was aunt barb. Or a gift from her at least. .... It just hung out and we played music and talked. ... The bird flitted around eating actual worms and things. We tried to feed it crackers but it wouldn't eat those. It was strange how familiar it was but wouldn't way human food. It hung around a long time and then finally left. Quite a beautiful gift , those messengers.

That's a gorgeous story. I'm sure it was the same kind of message. I love how the spirits of the animals work with us-we are so blessed.

Big hugs right back!
