His stepping into the street to take the dog for a walk was interrupted by the the squawk of a crow. Looking up he saw the crow chasing a magnificent white hawk. The hawk was so beautiful it took his breath away and he watched with delight as it ditched the crow and circled around. Coming back it spiraled in quite low and hovered above him. White with some dark points it was beautiful beyond words and against the blue of the morning sky looked ethereal as though it gleamed with its own light. Seconds later it took off again toward the bay. It’s beauty had mesmerized him and awestruck he stood wondering what had just happened. It was the reality of a car coming up the street that brought him back. Jumping out of the street and resuming his walk the question clung to the edges of his vision. What had just happened? It was only a few minutes later as he returned to his home that he heard the words in a familiar voice.
“you are an infinite being. Remember this. You are bound to the earth only by your body but you are not your body. Infinite, powerful, beautiful, spread your wings sweet spirit, spread your wings and fly.”
That was the message of the White Hawk.
