fly high ravens...

Ravens - large black birds associated through history with mischief, darkness, and melancholia. While it is flying within its territory, the raven is a friendly, unsuspicious bird. When it is nesting, however, the raven is wary and secretive.

In popular western literature, they symbolize darkness, depression, and death (popularized in Edgar Allan Poe's poem, 'The Raven'). In medieval times they stood for virility. Among native cultures, Raven is the 'trickster' spirit, a popular totem, and the creator of man, who placed the Sun in the sky.

...and thus, the Ravens were defined. But as you may, these are but definitions - enclosures of a limited mind. We know better Ravens, and its time to prove it. Fly high, amigos.
Fly high...and be free.
