Valentines illustration in the “Spirit Animal” series.

I talk with the moon, said the owl
While she lingers over my tree
I talk with the moon, said the owl
And the night belongs to me.

“Bunny Boy” is part of an ongoing series of “spirit animal” drawings. Description: This wee rabbit boy naps in the grass as his companions watch over him. The rabbits perk up as their friends approach in the distance.

“The bear becomes our mentor. We must journey out, so that we might journey in. The bear mother enters the earth before snowfall and dreams herself through winter, emerging with young by her side. She not only survives the barren months, she gives birth. She is the caretake of the unseen world.” Terry Tempest Williams
