During a 2 hour walk through the MacRitchie Reservoir today, I happened to spot a majestic eagle soaring high in the open sky as it surveyed everything beneath with an eye of mastery. Made me realise just how enlightened a being the Eagle is.
Eagles have evolved to soar high above the earth, giving them a perspective that is unavailable to any other creature.
From their great height, riding on the wind and sunlight, they see the bigger picture and constantly remind us that there is a bigger reality to our lives. When we get bogged down with the details and routine of daily life, eagles help us to remember that we are part of a larger plan, have a larger purpose to fulfil, and that everything fits together beautifully and perfectly.
Once you can develop the eagle’s expanded perspective you too can become a visionary able to focus on the exact spot that truly needs your attention in the moment. With their amazing focus, eagles teach us to follow our personal vision. Additionally, the eagle’s ability to live on land but visit the sky at will is a good reminder for us all. This unique quality of the eagle reminds us that their strength and survival comes from connecting regularly with the spirit within and bringing the guidance received from the inner self into earthly affairs.
As the eagle soars amongst the heavenly bodies of the sun, the stars, and the wind that moves the clouds, it reminds us to always consider the larger picture, one that inspires us to move through the world we inhabit with strength, certainty, and grace.
Whenever you see the eagle next, know that you have a lot to learn from this great master.
