Living and bonding like an Eagle.

 Gazing at eagles, recently reflecting on the life of an eagle, I had fascinating thoughts on them.  Eagles are magnificent birds, beautiful and powerful. They fly very high and have a rare insight to the untold sights of life. They have the longest life span in birds and to live up to that age, they have to go through a lot of pain and changing process, make hard decisions to survive in life. Their life is very motivating and  renewing their strength often to survive, is awe inspiring.

I have been thinking of an eagle's way of life, when I had to take very hard and important decisions that brought me the wrath of a close one. Like an eagle, it was a painful decision I took to go through that phase of my life, though it still pains me, I thought if that pain brings about the fulfillment of a beautiful dream, it was a risk worth taking knowing about the result of it, though  I had no other option in it. It tore me apart from inside, knowing the stand taken was a genuine one.

An Eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young ones by spreading its wings and takes them up carrying on its wings. An eagle's life is a perfect example for bonding, leading way, the aspect of teaching its young ones and flying away to grow and fend for themselves. The life of an eagle is a perfect lesson to be determined, strong willed  and perseverance to live life fully. It goes through a lot of physical pain and process of changes in order to survive. It renews its beak, feathers and talons going through a lot of pain.

When I was watching these eagles gliding through the sky and playfully flying around, I realized that to survive a positive life, I have to go through a lot of physical pains and immense mental turmoil that was inflicted due to my difficult decisions. I knew I always  had to rise like an eagle and keep renewing my strength and courage to face life's difficult situations. To move with a will that keeps me going and not weary or faint. They taught me to be a diligent seeker of positivity without any fear whatsoever.

I thought it best to give the push needed to pursue a dream and once it is fulfilled just watch them grow and soar high. Under that power of spell, step aside and stay quiet, believing in their souls as an eagle does and watch them succeed with great joy. Be there to lead them to aim high, be a guiding light but never get caged in the repercussions. Have will power, beauty and independence to gain strength on my own, follow my instincts to have a strong vision no matter what the obstacles are, remain focused and grounded.

Live like an eagle loving the storms and rise against all odds and achieve the rightful goals. It is always better to take time like an eagle and trust in your actions and other's. The eagle shows the aspect of looking after the family. Their preparation of nest shows the path to accept changes, being pricked by a thorn is a reminder that sometimes      being too comfortable with anything may result in a stagnation. I understood with pain the thorns of life are there to teach that I need to keep growing, get out and love on no matter what. It comes as a thought process that everyone has a mind of their own and it pushes me  to keep growing stronger with that perspective. When I am growing older, changes are painful and with a body growing weaker, I need a stronger will to survive against all odds and challenges that comes; I prefer defying my fate than to get caged in my turmoils. What is not in my hands cannot be helped, but leave it to time and wait patiently.


Gazing at the sky,

Eagles gliding in joy,
Chill breeze blowing on face,
Fills a yearning in my soul,
To soar high and fly.


Breaking all shackles,
That bog me down,
To a point of,
Tearing me apart,
With scars in my heart.


Mind rebels the reasoning,
Of a rebelling will,
Perseveres patiently,
With a selfless love,
That what is meant to be will be.
