A Visitor in the Clouds

I took a picture this past weekend. Nothing new, I always have my camera or my phone handy. We were walking out to the car and as I rounded the building I saw this wonderful division of light and dark in the sky. My real hope was that there was rain in that big dark cloud. After posting it a couple of days later I noticed a face in the dark clouds. At first I thought it might be a cat face but then the snout looked longer then that of a cat and the next thing that came to mind was a fox. I have been intrigued by this picture all week. I keep going back to it. 

So do you see the face of the fox? The left arrow is pointing to the right eye and the right arrow is under where the cheek would be pointing toward the mouth area. There is a long snout in the middle of the eyes that comes to a nose where the sky brightens up again.


I decided to look up symbolism of the fox and found a few interesting tidbits. The very first sentence blew my mind.

"In China, fox animal symbolism revolved around the afterlife. Lore has it that a fox sighting was thought to be a signal from the spirits of the deceased."

Whoa! Can you believe that?! 


I thought this was interesting too since this was a huge storm front,

"In Japan, the fox was considered one of the rain spirits, and a messenger of Inari the rice god. Here the fox also symbolizes longevity and protection from evil."

I'm always looking and open to signs from my babies or anyone that I love that has passed on and is stopping by to say "Hi". What a wonderful reminder that Heaven is real and that our loved ones are never too far away.
