The change had been a welcome one. He knew he couldn't hold it back for long, and when it happened...it was intense. Kneeling down to recover, the newly shifted badger placed a claw on the ground. Home. He had found a place to call home after too many years. With a fangy gring, he was ready to start living again.

Badger's influence on my life has been strong this year. He encouraged me to dig in and get things rolling. Moving across country for my own well being. Having secured a place to live, a job, and the resources in a short time span...he has been a strong presence.
