The Clarion Call

Trumpets called Clarions were found in post-Roman Europe. A Clarion has clear tones, a dictionary calls it "brilliantly clear". We understand a Clarion Call to be a clear, urgency in the spirit to move and to act with haste. The Clarion was an loud, shrill instrument similar to a signaled time to go into battle. A clarion call is such a call, but coming from the core of one's spirit to move out of complacency, procrastination, doubt, fear, and limitations to MOVE and CONQUER for the kingdom Small breed dogs under 15 lbs. are permissible only with prior approval. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we cannot allow cats. Host may request a photo of your pet for verification.
