Interesting that you choose to interfere. I mean at the end of the day this is the natural process right, why should we interfere? I suppose it is one thing if a fellow human was messing around with the crows, but the raven and crow have a relationship of their own. Do you understand the intricacies of their world well enough to interfere? Perhaps this was the crows battle something they had to do on their own.
Ian, I'm guessing you were speaking to Jahn, but I wanted to jump in, hope that's okay.
I'm not saying that humans are always wise creatures, but creatures we are, with our own natures -- and "interfering" (especially with that which occurs right in our own backyard) seems to be part of our nature!
I remember having this moment years and years ago, when some semi-feral cats were about to go at it right on my patio steps. I wanted to break it up -- it looked like it was going to get bloody. Part of me said, "Vicki, don't interfere --- it's nature!"
Then the other part came in quickly to comment, "But I am nature too!"
How is it that we separate ourselves mentally so easily from "nature"? How do we see ourselves as apart from it? What is it that makes us create this "us" and "them" division.
Sometimes we err. Sometimes, no matter what we do or don't, the outcome isn't a happy one. When spirit leads a life-and-death situation to one's backdoor, the answer is never simple or obvious. But we are being asked ... to do something -- be it intervention, be it nothing. We're always learning, and could be we've all agreed to learn something together.
It's like a silent contract, when we are so drawn together.
What I see is that the lesson is for all involved.
Spirit is in everything, eh?
