While describing the "murder" of partying crows, I couldn't get the vivid image of a jet black, glinting crow's eye out of my head. In fact that's what I had in mind the entire time I wrote this chapter:
The theme of light being reflected out of darkness. In the glinting eyes of a crow.
AFTER writing the part with Paul's revelations and the crows' departure, AFTER writing everything but the very end, an odd impulse landed to visit a particular website I hadn't been to in a good while. And right there, front and center of that website, was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHc4NqA07sE
I've been 5 weeks behind on my reading and finally caught up to this recent post today... only to discover, once again, the synchronistic timing of this chapter which perfectly reflects the very themes I've been pondering and actively working with in my own life. I feel a special connection to crows and they happened to be cawing outside my window as I read. They are said to be harbingers of mystery, the secret keepers of esoteric wisdom who speak in ways we cannot fathom with the mind. The mind can follow the breadcrumbs, but the heart is where the treasure is found. <3
Thank you for sharing that. That’s absolutely wild how crows were actually speaking outside your window as you read this. One of the original hopes I had for this book was that it would catalyze unmistakeable moments of connective coincidence speaking in the lives of its readers. So many times I forget and doubt and question as a lot of my energy has and is going into something that has limited rational return on investment. Thank you for reminding me of the reason I started. ⭐️
Really appreciate and resonate with Paul’s insight here, good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant, all for the opportunity to bring more consciousness into the whole experience. After the ecstasy, the laundry.

Wow! You sure are dialed in! 🐦⬛ Crows/Ravens are amazing birds and messengers. Great writing, thank you!
I had my comment written out and was about to post and I saw your own comment.
So I followed your suggestion ( love Mumford and Sons).
Suddenly the only relevant comment was; Whoa! Anima Mundi.
Anima mundi!
Had the opportunity to see them in Charlottesville five years ago—the energy was off the charts. favorite concert I’ve ever been to.
Favorite concert ever, now that says it all !

“Why can’t I just be in flow all the time?” 😂
