love's embrace

i read a story on the internet today about a man in washington who saved an eagle with two broken wings. he nursed her back to life, often willing her to live, as she was weak and sad with a flatness in her eyes that told of her pain. she came around eventually, and two became great friends.

after a miraculous recovery from cancer, the fellow took the eagle out for a walk on her teather, and she spread her wings and put them around him, pushing hard into his back. she has done it with others as well, one man who was terminally ill, and all report feeling an amazing power surging through them when enfolded in eagle's wings.

i've never hugged an eagle but i know that feeling. arms around you strong and soft at the same time, the love from one coursing into the veins and heart and spirit of the other.

the essence of all healing

love's embrace.
