while i was outside yesterday...
just watching from my deck, looking over the earth before me, i saw a hawk, (or an eagle, or a falcon, an eagle-like bird anyway) circling above, wings spread and head bowed... just circling, effortlessly...
it reminded me of something i have read somewhere.... how the eagle, rather than go into battle and fight, will fly higher and higher, outdoing it's opponent, with height...
but as i watched this bird, i realised that it wasn't flying, moving it's wings as such, but just 'sitting' on air and it was being raised higher and higher with each circle it made...
just going up, higher and higher, silently, effortlessly... round and round... up and up... until it became for me... a speck in the sky, way up high...
and it made me think how trusting he was, up there in the sky... no thought of anything... but just circling in the air, head bowed.... and being raised higher and higher...
invisible to my own eyes, he was being lifted...
and such may be my own life.
