The Birth of "Four Crows"

On a warm summer day in the summer of 1998, Daryl was walking along a quiet, deserted street near where he resides. As he passed this one particular tree, a crow fell from the top of the tree, dropping in front of him. Seconds before this crow drew in it's last breath, for a brief moment their eyes met. Daryl assumed that it was an old crow and it's time was up, however upon further examination; the crow appeared to be very young with no apparent injuries. Daryl also noticed that the number of the house that he was standing in front of was "44". To this day, Daryl feels that it was a gift from Spirit as there are no "accidents" in life. Daryl was given the Spirit of the Crow and was to spread the message of awareness in his own unique way. The following year, Daryl was invited to his first Sundance and from that point, Daryl has committed himself to four years of piercings and sacrifice for the Earth and it's people. The opening of "Four Crows" in October of 2003, is the continuation of his life's path, guided by the Crow Spirit.

Who Am I?

• If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong.

• If I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view.

• If my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances, try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.

• If I act, or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be.

• I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. That will come only when you are willing to give up changing me into a copy of you.

• I may be your spouse, your parent, your offspring, your friend, or your colleague. If you will allow me any of my own wants, emotions, beliefs or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right - for me.

• To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. In understanding me, you might come to prize my differences from you; and, far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences.

• It will probably take some work in coming to see our differences as something other than flaws.

• The payoff of such work is that you can look at me as a different person; someone you don't quite understand, but someone that you can, with a sense of puzzlement perhaps, gradually come to appreciate.
