One of Us


Today we watched herons and hawks. They flew through the sky and among the trees. They sat on branches. They warmed nests.

One hawk soared in circles over and around me. I watched with my binoculars and I felt like I, too, rode the currents. I felt like I was flying free.

It reminded me that, when one of us frees our self so that our acts come from love instead of ego and self-interest, when one of us is clear and sees the truth, we help free those around us to do the same.

  1. Thank you, Carol. I understand what you mean about "faying free" when observing the beauty of a hawk in the sky. Freedom is such a spiritual experience so like soaring and diving in the sky.

    Thank you for sharing your moments with the herons and hawks.

  4. Sometimes I like to simply watch and marvel at the manner with which those who are achieving that freedom from ego move through the world.
