The Wisdom of the Past
The Owl is a symbol of Wisdom, capable to see what’s behind. The Owl has elongated eyes that are fixed in their sockets. They have to turn their head to see a 270-degree view. This also accounts for their inquisitive expressions, turning their heads to see from different angles. Noiseless flight and broader wingspan allows them to fly low and slow under the cover of darkness without being seen or heard by their prey.
Their ways can teach us a thing or two. Human’s hindsight is 20/20. Seeing the Truth by our own experience is an opportunity to learn to make wise choices in the future. We often prefer to forget. When we’re redeemed by Love there’s nothing to fear.
