The rustling autumn leaves softly fell in the gentle breezes, as a colorful palette tossed in abandon on mother earths carpet. My eyes caught sight of two magestic eagles circling overhead, riding the currents of air, that rose from the knoll. They were lower than usual today.... and i could see every feather of these elegant birds.
The air currents are invisable to them, yet, they gracefully rade them, as a mountain goat scales the rugged cliffs. As they hovered overhead, i noticed their tail feathers move ever so slightly...first to one side...then the other, shifting positions, the movements kept the eagles , just where they wanted to be.As the air moved around them....they seemed to be dancing in the wind! Ever so slightly, seemingly without effort, without flapping their wings...they rode the currents and began to circle upward, until smaller and smaller they became...disappearing from view...TOGETHER.
How do they know? How do they do that,with such assurance and confidence? Eagles are masters of flying,gliding and diving...they are skillful masters of their wings and tail feathers...but cannot master the wind. The wind goes where it wants, blowing various directions, it can disappear, then reappear from nowhere! No matter its direction, the eagles love to fly with the wind. But unlike the leaves in the autumn breeze, that go where the wind blows them...sometimes the eagles use the will of their own. Their journey depends on where the wind takes them...it is true...but also how they use their tools(wings and tail feathers) to get them there. That way thy are always masters of flight
Elegant spirits do this....their wings and feathers are what they THINK,SAY or DO. They always think , say, or do to create harmony, cooperation, sharing and a genuine reverance for life. No matter what the situation, its what they do. They are in control of what they think, say or do, even though they are not in control of what comes up in their lives! Sometimes unpleasant things come up, other times are joyful, happy times....either way, they ride the wind, doing the very best they can, letting the wind take them where they need to go.
The wind, my friends....is your life. Its all the things that happen between the time you were born and the time you go home to our lord. Just as the eagle doesn't try to control the direction of the wind, neither does the elegant spirit try to control what happens in their lives. They do NOT try to control others, or have a hidden agenda. They don't think, say or do things to munipulate other people. They do the best they can and ride the wind.
As the eagle never stops using its wings and tail
feathers...spirits NEVER stp using their intentions to create more
harmony and unity in all life. Have you soared in your life yet??
When you do so, you will discover the magnificent wind- and that
your life is abundant with unimaginable possibilities.
May we all fly as eagles.......and touch the awesome face of GOD!!!
