    … what these eyes have seen would make an incredible video or movie … the photo above is Quinn, a ten-year-old Dark Morph Ferruginous Hawk. Ferruginous Hawks are the largest hawks in North America and are about the size of a small eagle. They are ferocious hunters and like Harris’s Hawks (and others) cruise low over the terrain in search of prey … spot a rabbit and it is a simple drop down to get them. Just imagine cruising a few feet off the ground and spotting a rabbit, squirrel or other creature and initiating the attack … if successful you eat and live another day … if not you get another chance, but succeed you must or …

    The photo below is a shot of Leroy’s eye; he is a Harris’s Hawk and one of my favorite raptors … Michele stopped to see us on the way down to do a wedding in Sedona and Leroy and Quinn had key rolls in the wedding … if you are planning a wedding or have a friend doing one, consider having one of these guys deliver the rings or participate in another way … check with Michele at IRFC.

    Another great week underway … the new computer for my friend is done and is a Ferrari … a few other projects caught up too and in not that many hours down to T Cook’s in Phoenix for breakfast with a friend and thence to see a new doc at Banner. Life is good!

    Have a beautiful day and imagine if you will, the sights you would see through these eyes …

    Smiles,

    Ted

    If the noise of the city offend you, go afield, when
    you may, with the birds and the wild, free life that
    troubles not;

    The growing grain and the placid sky have a kind of
    voice; and though you are alone, the boundlessness of
    the universe is with you.

    Sedona Gift Shop

    The dream of imperishable passions in old history,
    the love of mothers for children, and the love of
    children, born and unborn, and all love, swarm in the soft
    air, speaking to the inner ear in the still language.

    Go afield with the birds and the growing grain and
    the placid sky and dream and forget; and you will see
    that you are changed when you awake and the gleams
    of the city peep in your twilight returning.

    The Noise of the City by Max Ehrmann

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
