I have been blessed with a lovely and majestic reminder of beauty and power for several weeks now on my way to work.
A huge gold chested hawk has been waiting [that's my opinion anyhow] a day or 2 each week for me to pass by. Some days she is circling a small area of grassland. Other days she is on a powerline or post. One day she was on the ground running after something [which i refuse to speculate upon].
Always, though she is either on or above the same patch of ground.
Today she sat on a high branch in an oak tree surveying the scene. She amazes me just by her being....i can not explain how close i feel to her when we pass by .... it is as though she is in the car with me.
Her head is held so regally and her body poised with every muscle at attention and at rest at the same time.
I don't know why i am so attracted to her but each time we pass it seems that we actually nod in spirit to one another and she has deemed me worthy to travel on through her realm and to be on this earth with her.
It does a lot for my own grounding, this quiet acknowledgment of our connection.
Just wanted to share this on-going exchange which has impacted my perspective on the sacred space which each creature holds.

Wow! Leif, that was powerful in so many ways. It made me cry for so many reasons. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of the joy she brought you, the person she was. I will never hear the word "divan" again without thinking of you both (of course, how often DO you hear that word?!). I met her after she was in the throes of disease and never knew any of this....so I feel tonight, I have truly met HER. Thank you for that gift.
