Though I like to elephants, I cannot readily relate this animal to myself nor I to it. My Mom once gave us coin sized 'spirit pockets' that have Pacific Northwest Indian Engravings on them. For example my siblings received a Turtle; 'Patience'-a Sun; 'Energy'-Totem; 'Wisdom'. I was given one with a Salmon; 'Determined'.
I realized the salmon swim upstream, against the current. It is a long, strenuous voyage. To liken this to myslef, My sojourn in life can be difficult, however if I remain resolute in this endeavor I can reach my goals. So I press on, and "just keep swimming." ;)

I think there would be a way to make an elephant work with that, or just as a representation of another of your traits. Elephants are loyal, generally calm but ferocious when roused, respectful, intelligent . . . and so on. And they can't jump. And have cool ears.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with the salmon totem, of course; I just wouldn't choose it for myself. I have trouble seeing fish in a positive light.
you know the more i think about it the more i would rather be an elephant! Fish are only yummy, i wouldnt want to eat my totem =P
