Summer of the Hawk

[wrenstarling]

One day, as the school year was winding down, I had to pick my son up at school, and was distracted as we were leaving when I caught sight of a hawk that seemed to have something to say. I tried to find it, but I had missed the message. However, the hawk followed me home. On another day, I arrived home with my husband to have the hawk circle right over our heads, giving a stunning view of the detail on the underside of his wings. Since then, I have seen it a few more times; admittedly, I'm not outside that often; it tends to be hot and sticky out there and I like my environment climate controlled. Clearly, we are an important part of its territory.

It is appropriate that hawk has come to me; it is a bird that brings a sense of activity and urgency, that encourages one to DO something, and I need that nudge. The hawk is also the bird of messages and communication, of the in-between, and of useful tools.

Yes, yes, hawk, I'm listening! I will be doing more to expand and advertise my services in these months, and the first step is my first one card draw. I will be drawing cards for all comers on Tuesday, July 12, so mark your calendars now! Tips will be accepted and there will be bonus incentives!

Hawk is a hunter ("...there's blood on my feathers..."), keen-sighted and one of the fastest flyers - swift and maneuverable like a fighter plane. Hawk doesn't stay around to argue; Hawk strikes from the high sky like a bolt of feathered lightning, seizing what she's after and streaking back up into the blue before you can even blink. Hawk is small and fierce and smart, and doesn't think at all the way we do...

I'm not an auspex but I have certainly found that when an animal has something to say, they don't leave you alone until they've said it!
