SHARON MARKWARDT DREAMS OF THUNDER

I view bison as deeply soulful and spiritual creatures who remind humans that we are all woven together into the same web of life. Silver leaf underlies the horns and eyes as well as a single star to wish upon. Subtle words of “Spirit” may be found hidden in the mane of this herd bull. If observed closely, Life is full of brilliant beauty, and a buffalo is anything but boring brown!
