What was happening with the koala?

  • A calm koala

    Its stillness can evoke a kind of rest you rarely give yourself. Consider what made it possible for the animal to remain still and what a similar pause would require from you.

  • A chase or aggressive encounter

    Pursuit can reflect a goal or fear that demands attention. An aggressive animal can bring a tension you have not resolved into a scene you expected to feel gentle.

  • Playing with a koala

    The scene can evoke joy and caring connection. Recall whether the feeling reminded you of a time you were supported or a relationship in which you want more room for ease.
