Animal Spirit Carvings

DURING the long cold northern winter the Great Bear hibernates to digest the years experiences but she is not inactive. One crystal spring morning she will emerge from her den followed by the new life she has created. This cycle repeats season upon season until one dark winter night a new star appears in the northern sky. That spring the Great Bear will not appear as in years past. This new Spirit Star that marks her passing will be observed by her daughter as she emerges from her own den followed by the new life that will again replenish mother earth.

THIS cycle will repeat forever if we protect and preserve the environment the Great Bear needs to survive....if we do not , on the day the last "Great Bear Spirit Star" is born, mankind's fate will be sealed and written in the cosmos.

A LAND that cannot support the Great Bear will not long support man.
