One of my most memorable moments in life...
Our corporate office building, was on a good bit of acreage. On the backside, there was a waterway. There was also some marshland. The property was a very popular place for bald eagles. We had many nests. My husband and I spent many hours, walking the property, and watching the eagles. Incredible beauty.. Incredible grace.. The eagles were very comfortable with our presence. There were times, they actually landed, and briefly rode atop heavy equipment my husband would be operating. One day, I took a break from my work, and took a walk out the backside of our office building. That day, an eagle started circling, and passing by me extremely close. Close enough, I thought he could possibly bump me with his wings. It was an incredible sight, to see him so close. What beauty! Nature's most perfect accomplishment of flight! However, it was also bit daunting. I was not quite sure of his intentions. He was huge!
On his last pass, he landed right beside me. He was sitting close enough, I could have reached out and touched him. I looked at him. He looked at me. He sat there for a while, and then flew away. I felt the rush of air from his wings, as he took off. Wow! I will never forget that moment. It was one of those moments, that touches your heart. What a privilege, for him to have shared that moment with me. I felt honored.
