A Reminder to Listen
I’m heading into a part of my life where it is going to become critical for me to just listen. I’m not sure why I feel this way, I just do. Something is building.
So… I think it’s time I remind myself with a great story of the eagle. This was on the episode of Northern Exposure when Joel’s parents came to visit.
The Legend of the Eagle — As told by Marilyn Whirlwind
The Eagle wasn’t always the Eagle.
The Eagle, before he became the Eagle, was Ukatangi, the talker.
Ukatangi talked and talked. It talked so much, it heard only itself.
Not the river, not the wind, not even the wolf.
The Raven came and said, "The Wolf is hungry. If you stop talking, you will hear him. The wind, too. And when you hear the wind, you will fly."
So he stopped talking.
And became it’s nature, the eagle.
The eagle soared, and it’s flight said all it needed to say.
