Eagle Spirit Soars...


Here it is, shapeshifter lovers, the last day of August. In another three weeks, or so, Autumn begins. Already, the days are noticeably shorter and change is in the air. I feel it in the wafting breezes. My oh my, how time flies, to use an old cliche. Yesterday, about mid-morning, Eagle Spirit soared... here’s what I wrote on my Kougar Kisses blog ~

The Eagle Did Not Land
Late evening yowls, my bold and beautiful Big Cats... yep, as the Kougaress readied herself to face a long day of necessary shopping, she saw one of the resident eagles on the tame prairie shoot past, flying low and fast... an amazing sight. A precious sight. No, the eagle did not land.

As I reflect on that gorgeously winging eagle, I wonder if there was a message from Eagle Spirit?

Be a like the eagle in your life? Or... fly, low and fast, toward your goals? Do not land? Do not pass GO... okay, silliness is taking over. ~yep, a long tiring day~

Well, I’m not landing. Not exactly. I have several projects on the writerly burner. One is percolating deliciously. One is a short story I’d like to complete – I thought I would have gotten it finished by now, but you know about life and author interruptus. And, then there is my almost-completed WIP ~ Kandy Apple for Halloween ~

Suddenly, I’m feeling an eagerness to return to Kandy’s world where her magick is the norm, even though she’s living in our contemporary times. Plus, Zin and Zol, her heroes, delight me no end. They’re always making me chuckle. Think dry sophisticate remarks when they’re in human form... and unchained brute ferociousness when they morph to hellhounds.

But, we’ll see. Making plans is one thing. Getting life to cooperate is quite another matter. With the edits for The Tiger’s Masquerade coming up... and promo opportunities for Branded... ya know, I dunno. It’s a ‘fluid’ situation, as they say.

Eagle Spirit Soars... perhaps, the Eagle, symbol of the United States of America, is, once again, flying magnificently across our beloved land. From my perspective, that spirit has been lost of late.

But now, it’s time for DA BEARS. Here’s a news story I’d love to use in one of my shapeshifter stories. For now, Rebecca, or anyone else, please twist to your own imaginative fancy.

Bears Guard Pot Farm
27-Aug-2010

As more and more states and countries legalize marijuana, pot farms are springing up out there. In Canada (where it is still illegal), police discovered that a marijuana farm is being guarded by trained black bears, when they tried to raid it.
But the bears were benign: Instead of attacking they simply acted as guards and were actually quite tame, so the police were eventually able to arrest 2 pot farmers. BBC News quotes police sergeant Fred Mansveld as saying, "They were tame, they just sat around watching. At one point one of the bears climbed onto the hood of a police car, sat there for a bit and then jumped off." The bears were fed dog food, so the farmers broke the law in 2 ways, since in Canada it's also illegal to feed bears.

The Kougar’s news ~

I will be blogging at THE ROMANCE STUDIO on Wednesday, the 1st. Sedona and Volcano’s Summer Recipe scene will be featured, my heroine and hero in WHEN A GOOD ANGEL FALLS.

Good news... for me, anyway. I’m near the end of their two year anniversary scene. It is x-rated, takes place on December 21, 2014, and you’ll never look at Mars in the same way. That is, if I find a good place to post it.

Oh my goodness, that is a fabulous news story! It would make for one heck of a short story! LOL

~Thoren lumbered his large bear body around the nearly full grown, green narcotic he was in charge of guarding. Lucky for him these farmers were idiots and decided to use trained black bears in sentry duty. They'd never expect him to be a trained SIA, Shapeshifter Intellegence Agency, operative. He was here to bust them for enslaving unprotected shifters-a task he was going to so enjoy.~

Good luck with Kandy and the delicious boy's. Also the short...do you still have time to get it in??

Savanna Kougar said...

Serena ~giggling~ over your Thoren, great bear name btw.... SIA, I betcha they're a lot more successful than that other human agency.

On the short, I do, if I can get my writerly self in gear and get it written.

Ooooh, I saw the amazingly beautiful eagle soaring, just about twenty minutes ago... there's a family of them... so, I don't know if it's the same eagle. Maybe, Eagle wants his/her own shapeshifter story.

When police arrived, the bears were listening to the Grateful Dead, munching on Doritos and going, "Duuuuuude."

Maybe I should blog about Turkey Buzzard Spirit. That's what we've got in my neighborhood.

Serena Shay said...

Thanks, I kinda like Thoren as well.

If you're seeing eagles that frequently, I'd say heck yeah they want a story! A shapeshifter one for sure!! :)

Serena Shay said...

Deadhead bears on a Dorito bing...Nice hehe

Pat, you'd rock a Turkey Buzzard Spirit story...blog away!!

Serena Shay said...

LOL...make that binge...gads I'm sleepy!

Savanna Kougar said...

Pat... yeah, the dog food sack was really Da Bears' stash of Doritos... hey, wouldn't that fit somewhere in your drug-busting shifter WIP?

Turkey Buzzard, heck, yeah. I bet they have a lot of wisdom that never gets heard, or squawked, or whatever sounds they make.

Rebecca Gillan said...

LOL! I That was good! I added a bear pick to my blog just for you and the stoner bears!

Savanna Kougar said...

Stoner bears... now that sounds like a rock group.
