Clouds rolled lazily over the darkening sea. I wondered if the bird was as spellbound as I was by the grandeur before us.
The horizon was just beginning to turn a rosy hue and infinity stretched out far beyond our view. I thought of the Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield who until recently gazed at earth's sky from his perch in a spacecraft. His fascinating journey increased the wonder most of us share when we stare at the sky.
It seems marvelous yet unbelievable to me that random specks of improbable life can not only witness, ponder and explore but also inwardly soar when awestruck by what it sees.

ReplyDeleteNice SWF post!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Love the sky and that eagle shot is great :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to see the eagle and I love the soft multi colored sky.
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting to me that birds watch the sky too. I sometimes wonder what they are thinking. Awed of God's splendour I bet.
