(more…)Story: “Raven, a creator in American Indian Lore, has the power to transform from Raven to Human Form. He is in his human form when he meets and falls in love with a ballet dancer. She tells him of her suffering because of death and pain in the world. She wants to have the power to take this suffering of her bondage and transform it into a cocoon so she can grow wings like a butterfly. Raven falls in love with her and helps her to release her own power so she can break free from pain and bondage and fly freely in the open sky”. ~ Karen Earle Lile
