oddly enough after the frustrated rain walk with little bear i got a post essay called bear medicine. i've seen a lot of dogs named bear before little bear this year. i did think of bears often before seeing these dog-bears popping up around the neighborhood. i always wish when the season turns and fall comes this winter i could hibernate in a den under the snow with wan snowlight perhaps and deep dark with dreams as nightlights and astral traveling constellations. well i haven't got to the dreamtime with little bear, but she's only 7 months old for dog sake—patience, i say, after losing it on the bear walk.

we can incorporate bear energy into our lives by remembering to take time to go inward, to rest and rejuvenate in daily mini hibernations.

their hidden strength lies in the bear's ability to travel between the physical and spiritual worlds.

they travel through time, mentally digesting and learning from their experiences, but they also travel beyond the realm of mind and body into the dreamtime, where they are able to be rejuvenated by the source of all life. In this sacred space, they are connected to physical, mental, and spiritual realms all at once and can find the balance that they need to reenter world. 

they teach us that while we can take time apart to connect with spirit, we can also carry that awareness with us as we move through life, making the spiritual indistinguishable from the material.

maybe if i can stay tuned and not disintegrate bear and i will get to our spirit bear accord.
