Have you always loved certain animals or plants since childhood? Did you read about an animal that you have never been able to see, but nonetheless had qualities that were mysterious and important to you? I loved owls as a child, and as an adult, I have been on a quest to see them in the wild. Perhaps the animals and plants you have always loved can become the purpose of a quest for you.
Native American traditions of the Canyon Country of the Desert Southwest tell us that no encounter with an animal or plant is random. When you go on a walk through nature, think about which animals and plants capture your attention and meditate upon what their qualities might mean for your life.
Below are some animals and plants that have meaning for me. Learn about the lifestyles, viewing advice, and symbolism related to many of my favorite plants and animals. Go on a quest and tour all of the animals and plants, or choose a link below.
