Today I was graced with a visit from a (very) baby bear, who couldn't have been more than a month or two in age.

I am sure momma was around... but I didn't see her.

It is interesting that she/he came to visit... as there is great symbology in her showing up.

--- and especially more so for me; on a personal level.
