Crow Power

   Crows. I like putting some whimsy in mine. I don't like 'em too creepy. In this piece, Four in the Power, the crows are at an old church window. They want to see what's going on inside. Crows are very inquisitive. What things do they see? 

   There's something about old churches. There's a unique beauty there. The stained-glass windows, the lovely old-styled woodwork, the attention to detail in the building process. The feel we get when we get in a church, a still and peaceful vibe, the smell of the old wood and hymn books, the mix of calm and a bit of melancholy. It's a unique place. It's a good place to think.

   Perhaps the crows find solace there too, in their way, when they decide to peer into an old church window. Maybe they can see spirits, very old souls, willing to teach secrets of wisdom. Maybe the ghosts can teach us things we need to learn. Maybe the crows shall be four in the power.
