Both my husband and father are dogs!\u00a0 No kidding.\u00a0 I\u2019ve known this for quite some time.\u00a0 According to the Tzolk’in calendar calculators, both my husband and my father were born on 2 Oc!\u00a0 Certainly this is a very uncanny canine coincidence! LOL. Believe me, when I first discovered this and now as I consider it again, it\u2019s altogether freaky.<\/span><\/h4>\n

My husband is nine years older than I am and I used to think he kinda looked like Sean Connery. Yes, I liked that he was an \u201colder man.\u201d\u00a0 Indeed, when I first met him, he was a teacher in my high school and I called him Mr. R.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Freud would probably have a field day with my life\u2019s history; my husband serving as a classic Father Figure.\u00a0 Indeed, the guy has his own way of being very fatherly.\u00a0 When we were deciding what we would raise our two sons to call us, I decided on \u201cMama\u201d and he decided on \u201cFather.\u201d\u00a0 Not Daddy or Dad, but Father.\u00a0 So, as I was raising my children, I would say\u2026.\u201dFather says this and Father\u2019s doing that”\u2026as if he was my Father too.\u00a0 More times than I like to admit, I\u2019ve called my husband, \u201cDaddy\u201d accidentally\u2026and a couple times I\u2019ve also called him \u201cLucky,\u201d which was my dog\u2019s name, several times\u2026.a slip of the tongue, ya know.<\/span><\/h4>\n

I don\u2019t have to scratch my\u00a0fleas for long before coming up with a good number of commonalities in their personalities\u00a0that reflect the \u201cOc\u201d in them. They are definitely devoted family men, and were faithful team players, my father, as a doctor; and my husband, as a teacher. Both always went above and beyond the call of duty to help others.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Dogs have been genetically traced to wolves and the Wolf, or Waya, is the Gatekeeper of the South on the Medicine Wheel that our Medicine society works with.\u00a0 Grandmother Pa\u2019Ris\u2019Ha has taught us a Waya prayer to say each day at high noon as we face the South. One of my favorite lines in the prayer is: \u201cAna Waya, one who is silent and gathers much through watchfulness and cooperation, you bring wisdom to your people.\u201d\u00a0 Wolves are the quintessential pack animals, powerful in their own right but all the more powerful in community.\u00a0 Thus they teach us of relationships\u2014as the prayer also states, of \u201cfamily, community and individualism.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

So often, when groups of people gather to undertake a project, attend a meeting, whatever— there is too much bickering. Not enough people remain silent and gather wisdom through watchfulness and cooperation!\u00a0 But I think both my husband and my father have been endowed with this talent.\u00a0 In fact, many, many people who have known either my father or my husband professionally have commented as to how steady and amiable and genuinely nice\u00a0 people they were to work with or otherwise interact with. Someone said this to me about my father, just last night\u2026someone who had worked with him 30 years ago. I can just seem my husband and my father wagging their dog tails at people, with their happy tongues hanging out!<\/span><\/h4>\n

There is always a shadow side to each Tzolk\u2019in glyph\u2019s characteristics but \u2026.I will not hang out the family\u2019s dirty laundry here! But the Tzolkin days signs are meant to be utilized for personal development. And it\u2019s interesting to examine how both the positive and negative energies of a sign manifest in personalities that you know.<\/span><\/h4>\n

As each day passes and I journey through the 20 glyphs of the Tzolk\u2019in, I\u2019m learning more and more.
\nWe are always in a relationship with our selves and others and the dog, Oc\u2014man\u2019s best friend– can assist us in being, our own best friend and everyone else\u2019s.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Just …\u201cDon\u2019t settle for a relationship that won\u2019t let you be yourself.\u201d (Oprah Winfrey)<\/span><\/h4>\n
