If you're in Taos, New Mexico on October 17th, do come meet the ravens and me at The Charles Collins Gallery on the plaza. If you have one, bring me a raven tale during this weekend of the Taos Storytelling Festival.
The newest story came from a jewelry maker from Boston, a graduate of the esteemed North Bennet Street School. She bought this Raven Head, which I also call The Reason Why, to give to a dear friend who knew the pleasure of sitting with her dog named Bear and talking to ravens. Soon after the dog died (Oh why can't our beloved four-leggers live as long as we do?), a raven feather appeared. The owner believes that the feather is a message from Bear. This is not the first and certainly won't be the last story of ravens and the passing of a loved one.
