You were always with me, like a light from inside

A coyote crossed my path as I came home tonight from a ferocious amount of pre-Hanukkah shopping and cleaning with my parents. I don't know that I had ever seen one suburban-wild before. It had a low-slung back, a dark-tipped brush of a tail, its neat-trotting feet like a cat's in the headlights. It disappeared down a side street.

I think the solstice coyote is a good omen. A trickster at the door of the year. We make our own light, but it never hurts to have someone on your side who can steal it.

I have never seen a coyote in real life. This post made me realise I wasn't entirely sure what they look like when not in Wile E. form.

The pictures suggest they look like big foxes and are really cute.

Congratulations on your positive omen!

I believe this to be essentially true. They have wonderful faces.

Congratulations on your positive omen!

Thank you!
