Resting atop a snow ledge
I watch a bird soar high above.
Drawing from his strength
I take a deep breath and
commit this landscape to memory.
I feel free and strong enough
to conquer whatever awaits me
as I travel along life’s path.

How often we associate freedom and nature with a bird flying above. Easy to forget that it is searching for food, struggling to find shelter, avoiding predators, and lacking awareness of its own unique talent.
Best wishes, Pete.

Yes it is all of that, but we still envy the power of flight as I also envy the fish in the ocean – what wonders they must see that we can’t.
