Eagle Spirit fly me
up to the skies
Soar me through
clouds
Over mountain ranges
Effortlessly I flow
One with You
In Your arms
Heart to heart
My eyes are closed
I trust You to know
the way
Yet I see ALL through
my soul-eyes
In vibrant, glorious
colours
Brighter than the
naked eye can take in
All the beauty that
is this world
Waterfalls and
rainbows
Gazelles dancing
across wide, open grasslands
Whales and dolphins leaping across oceans and seas
Beautiful
Just as You are
Just as I am
…Thank you.
I remember the day I painted this I was sitting in a garden
in Singapore, by the lily pond.
Enjoying the flowers.
The sound of the water.
The beauty before me.
Including the blue skies and clouds above.
And as I look up, I notice a few eagles flying, maybe three
Surprised and delighted, I thank Spirit for this gift.
Since my time in Canada, almost 18 months before that, I often
see eagles.
My Canadian friends tell me that we each have a Spirit
guide, often in the form of an animal you connect with, and you shall see your
guide often in life.
That’s all well and fine in beautiful British Columbia, but
here in this urban, concrete jungle?
And hence the more significant they are to me. Guiding me, comforting me, loving me,
assuring me in that first week of my 30-day silent retreat.
As they are doing again today.
Now that I look back, I realised that since then I had
actually “moved in” with them, or their cousins, the kites where they have a
nest at the retreat centre on Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong.
Today, I feel myself again.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, a spiritual friend, called me “a
breath of fresh air”.
I don’t think that’s what I have been in the last 2 years,
but today, I feel light…closer to air. I
can own this today.
I know not what the future holds,
But I embrace it!
I let go of where I am to be based.
God, you fly me, soar me there
Bring me where I can best be
Your channel of Love
Thank you, thank you, thank you
