A Messenger


Had a falcon visited us today. M. noticed her first.

"I have never seen such a big bird!" He interrupted our conversation pointing at a window, "Look!"

As he was taking a picture, I stepped outside to get a closer look and the feel.

The sense of presence emanated from her. Every turn of the royal head was elegant and gracious. An unmistakable dignity and seniority was balanced by freedom and ease.

There was a message there as well, and as soon as it was received the wings moved the air above our heads, and the elongated tail disappeared behind the roof.

"It was a messenger," M. was making sure I did not miss it. I nodded, my heart filled with gratitude.
