WHEN A HAWK APPEARS

"There’s a whole world out there, right outside your window. You’d be a fool to miss it. —Charlotte Eriksson 

The past few days, this stunning hawk has been right outside our window. It's almost impossible to not see him, sitting on that arch that stands over our garden, which is right outside our back door.

It's one thing - a beautiful thing -  to see the many song birds, cranes, and squirrels that feed and play in our back yard. But a bird of prey so near reminds me that the natural, the wild side of nature is all around. I am in nature; and I am a part of it. We all are.

Let's notice nature today, really notice her with appeciation, even if it is a blade of grass growing through a sidewalk crack.

Instead of taking life, nature, and creation for granted, as we so often do, let's find ways to honor Mother Nature and take some action and attitude to protect her.

With love and wonder,
Charlene

May you see the world with wonder. - from The Twelve Gifts for Healing
