Written during Write Around the Corner meeting 12/4/2021
The opening lines of "Eagle Poem" by Joy Harjo inspired this piece.
To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you
And know there is more
That you can't see, can't hear;
Can't know except in moments
Doesn't that just say it all?
How far I've come by opening myself up
Rather than closing myself off.
How perfectly ironic that
the day I saw the two eagles
was within the same day my journey --
this part of the journey--
began.
These two eagles were not circling in blue sky
or flying over a river.
There were calmly sitting on the roof next door,
looking around, for quite a while,
as I prepared some things in the kitchen.
Little did I know they were the
harbingers of what was to come:
The Power of Spirit saying
look. listen. see.
