The 3-year-old bald eagle came in from the lake.  Didn’t seem to notice me at all.  Glanced to one side and drifted towards an osprey who was hurrying to his nest.  Then the young eagle decided there were other places to explore.  He switched directions, angled upwards and joined the clouds way above me.

Jordan Lake Dam and Haw River, Monday, June 1, 2020. The roar this morning is the Haw River – no turbines – just the river seeking release. This morning not only are all of our human hearts sore but the river joins in our chorus. And yet, we can still see hear the song birds singing. May we take their notes of greeting to the morning into our hearts and meet this day with hope. Greet the beginning of this week, the start of a new month with open hearts and a willingness to listen to each other and to work towards the solutions that are of equality for all of us. Take care, be safe, be well.
