The barbs cut deep
I didn't see the fence at all
I was stunned, shocked
Bewildered
How do I navigate this?
What am I to learn?
How can I stop the drip, drip, drip
Of blood, life force, flow?
I've been here before
Daggered by words of accusation
Disdain, belittlement
A lashing, though this was a small one
But it reached my very bones
I've been here before
Venomous scorn
Harshness of judgement
To put me in my place
I do not like this place
This feeling small
Though the past runs deep
Yet, my nature is peacekeeping
I am not fond of fighting words
I am not fond of name-calling
I am not fond of judging others
Though I too fall prey to such
May I learn from this
To be truer to myself
To not be so quick
To take full blame
And remember Hawk
She appeared promptly
After I exited The Path
Flying right in front of me
At eye-level, only 6 feet away
Again, I was stunned
But for a different reason
Beauty ~ Grace ~ Timing
This Hawk sighting
What does this mean?
And then again, a few days later
As I shared with Friend
While nursing the barbed wound
And its continual drip
I looked out the kitchen window
And there, regal and confident
Hawk, perched upon the blackberry post
Right as I was relaying the incident
Thank you, Hawk
Thank you, Friend
Thank you, Spirit
For Life's lessons
May I continue to learn....

If a hawk flies in front of you, ... [it] is a sign of peacekeeping, middle ground, and unity....A hawk near the home relates to energy in the root chakra that needs to be balanced and brought into moderation. ...A hawk is meant as encouragement, to show you that the best place to cultivate your best self is in the safety of your own home.
