By looking at the bear, you see all the potential.
The poet signals the day is now and where you are meant to be needs you.
the cultivation of creativity and creation calls to you.

As a adult, you crave "the bear", looking everywhere for it and what tangibility it has. If you could find it, you could breathe again & feel present. The poet presents it as a motif of a mirror of your desires. Not of normality, but of more.
Craft Post (1/3): "When the Moon Had Antlers" (Pg.35-36)- By Tresha Faye Haefner (given consent in person by author to post). I went to Poetry Tap at Oden Brewing in Greensboro, NC & met Tresha and listened to her speak poems from her book.
I love how the poem starts with clarifying "the bear"- to me its purpose and passion, but up to interpretation. Immediately, I am captivated!
Starts with reminscing as a child- the bear is felt but not seen.
