week 15, post 1: When Birds Play

All of us say that we are awed/delighted to watch eagles soar. Truly they are magnificent aloft, and the rarity of the sight adds to the sense of awe. But I have also been awed here by the sight of the white pelicans soaring, sometimes by the score. They are surely at play as they soar so high above the water, and they are magnificent flyers. I'm sorry that I do not have pictures of them to share with you, but they are at great altitudes as they wheel and dive aloft. This activity is surely play for them -- pure pleasure. And it is pleasurable for me to witness it. The eagles have their match for grace aloft in the white pelicans.
Peace, Warren.
