Everybody’s life has its ups and downs. Even in the hardest of lives you can take pleasure in small things.
In a the middle of a busy business day I stepped outside for a few minutes to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly I was given an amazing display of a hawk soaring and swooping in the sky. I could feel the air rushing in his face and the power of his wings guiding the air current to send him soaring above the hills. It was exhilarating and energizing just to watch.
Of course the hawk was hunting totally oblivious to his audience. He was doing it with such energy and elegance I am sure he was having a wonderful time. I had to smile at his prowess.
I thank that hawk for lifting me above the stress of my job and giving me a few minutes of feeling his freedom.
I went back into the office refreshed.
