A TEACHERble Moment: The Animals in Erykah

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?


E — Eagle.
I’m always seeing things from a higher place.
Rising above the noise
Soaring day to day.

R — Raven.
I carry thoughts
Some dark, some deep.
But wisdom comes tapping at my chamber door
Rapping from my head to my feet.

Y — Yak.
I’m built for hard roads.
Mountains don’t scare me
Because I’ve been climbing all my life
And the top is where I’ll be.

K — Koala.
I rest,
I nurture,
I bear it all.

A — Armadillo.
I roll up when I must,
Shielded to the touch.
A huge deal for me.

H — Honeybee.
I work.
I build.
I give sweetness to the world.
That’s the buzz.

Six letters.

Six instincts.

One woman learning
how wild her spirit can be.
