Loon Dance
In the wilderness of Alaska, on a calm day, one could hear in the distance a lonely haunting call of the loon. As if the loon was speaking to you. A sense of calling that wakes the spirit, a short reflection to remind you of your place in this world.
Once there were two young hunters in Newtok, Alaska, who came upon several loons in a lake dancing together. They crawled upon the lake behind the grass and saw two loons dancing together while the others were dancing in a circle around the other two in the center. It reminded them of a marriage procession taking place.
