Yes... more than likely the first one. Sorry... just haven't got around to much on here lately with other things going on around here.

I really love the birds flying. It reminds me of the goal of freedom from suffering. I would be very sad to see it go away.
Thanks

Mercy, It will become a new level. As we grow and learn, supporting each other we become wiser.

Owls are common in popular culture. Western culture tends to attribute wisdom to owls. Yes we learn freedom at the bird level, but the Wise Owl has learned how to continue growing and healing. The wise owl is able to observe and use the tools to stay serene. JMHO but I think of it as fine tuning hyper vigilance. When we recognize hyper vigilance and move through we replace the anxiety with being in the now. We act rather than react.

The first 3 levels of owls in below image are live for testing....

They will follow the colour of the birds, as that is what members went with after much testing, except the additonal row of owls, being the last row, will be the wise old silver owl as the ending rank.

If happy with that... then I will complete.

wise old silver owl

Ahem, excuse the sensitivity but 'wise silver owl'... hold the 'Old' please :rolleyes:

 

[Whitneys story]

Oh how absolutely darling/handsome! Anthony I commend you on your patience. I would have said
stuff it by this point. JMHO, For the last row Silver may not show as well and I recall several wanting black?????

I will go with the flow.... :wideeyed:

Updated and complete.

Jaret, JMHO, The Owl will be superior growth level. The Owl represents wisdom and accomplishment. :tup: Whitney

In India the cultural understanding about owls is not derived from Greek myths and the owl's association with Athena. Their belief is that an owl is stupid, foolish, and arrogant - often used about politicians. A person who speaks on subjects about which he knows nothing is called an owl. One of the most insulting thing to anyone is, "You're just like an owl." Even just a swear word, Ullu (Owl).

Let's explore other people's associations before we pick an potentially insulting one.

Mercy, I have not heard this before. I have said all along I would go with the flow. The opening post was done months ago and no one has stated offense to the Owl.

I know the Forum would never suggest using something that is so negative. The intent is not about the owl. It is about our growth and becoming wiser as we learn to process our many situations. Moving above our past's and repairing our minds.

I so appreciate your input. Yet will always see an Owl as a positive symbol. I would never consider anyone here as a fool. Nor ignorant as we are all on the journey of healing. JMHO Whitney
