Thunder Bird...

Messages are all around us.
On the way to work yesterday, I was sitting in traffic at a red light and I just happened to look at the car ahead of me... It was an older car and on the left side of the trunk lid was the word "Thunderbird"
The sunshine that prompted my last post two days ago was short lived. By late afternoon, on the way back home I was faced with several quite large storms. The sky was a menacing dark black, to charcoal grey, and the clouds churned and boiled as they built to a massive wall of clouds... And thunder and lighting rolled along the horizon, and large bolts flashed across the darkened sky...
Was it just a Storm? Or perhaps something more?...
Wikipedia says...
"The Thunderbird is a mythical creature common to Native American religion. Its name comes from that supposition that the beating of its enormous wings causes thunder and stirs the wind. The Lakota name for the Thunderbird is "Wakinyan", a word formed from "kinyan", meaning "winged", and "wakan", "sacred". The Kwakiutl called him "Hohoq," and the Nootka called him "Kw-Uhnx-Wa." It is described as being two canoe-lengths from wingtip to wingtip, and it creates storms as it flies- clouds are pulled together by its wingbeats, the sound of thunder is its wings clapping, sheet lightning is the light flashing from its eyes when it blinks, and individual lightning bolts are glowing snakes that it carries with it. In masks, it is depicted as many-colored, with two curling horns, and sometimes with teeth within its beak."
Perhaps the winged one was passing over to emphasize the Air Element of the Eastern Sky... What ever the case, Message Received, Loud and Clear...
