Drawing of a shed found in Steamboat Springs in 2002
Shed Blessing

Every year the antlers of elk and deer fall of and new ones grow. These discarded antlers are called sheds.

Sheds from big game animals are found quite by accident as we are busy walking through the woods paying attention to other interests. Sometimes we can be so busy that we can walk right past the most majestic of sheds if we are not paying attention and are too narrowly focused on our plans for the day.

If you have ever found one in the wilderness you know there is something magical about finding a shed that can brighten even the gloomiest of days.

Our lives are full of sheds that we find along the way as we pursue our goals and dreams.

May the remaining years on earth find you aware of the sheds along your path in life and may they dance with you along your journey.
