The analogy is simple. The Raven is a problem solver, a tool user and a symbol for knowledge and intelligence. We fancy our selves to be much of the same. It’s our job to be clever in our thinking, our job to figure out how to make things work or how to make things work better.

The Raven’s ingenuity is best described in this popular tale. The story goes that the Raven found a pitcher near empty but which held a small amount of water in its base. Being too deep for the Raven to reach, it appeared that he would go thirsty. Ingenuity prevailed as the Raven began to collect pebbles, easy to carry in its beak, and drop them into the pitcher. As the pebbles to consumed the space of the water at the base of the pitcher, the water was forced to move up, and eventually up to the surface where the Raven satisfied his thirst and no doubt himself in general with his cleverness!

We like to think that we share this craftiness with the Raven. Inspired by this clever bird, we follow suit in our on going efforts focused on resourcefulness, quick thinking, and the ability to make intelligent decisions.
