Melvin Sandoval: Steatite, Beavers

They seem almost alive, ready to spring into action at any moment. It is as if they hold some ancient power within their stony forms, whispering secrets of the natural world and the mysteries of existence itself. Truly, these two beavers carved of steatite are more than mere decorations; they are guardians of wisdom and symbols of resilience in the face of adversity.
Beavers (Biha) are extremely energetic and exhibit great diligence in whatever they do. Their willingness to participate in purposeful and cooperative activity is part of their medicine. We can learn a great deal from this singular quality. Whether building their underwater lodges, repairing dams, or taking care of their kits, beavers do it with zeal. This is why we have the expression, “eager beaver.” They are gentle creatures who show us that working hard can be its own reward.
