Original Art by Shirley Jackson

Nature is composed of numerous cycles – the cycle of the seasons; the cycle of migrations; the cycle of life and death.

Bears experience the cycle of hibernation – going dormant during the long, harsh winter and reawakening during the spring.

And when a bear breathes its last breath, it still plays a vital part in the sacred cycle of life and death by bringing nourishment to the living (both flora and fauna) allowing the cycle to repeat.
