I witnessed something this morning that was incredibly beautiful . I witnessed death.
We had finished our maintenance of a condo building in South West Florida and were walking to the next one when suddenly a huge bird swooped between the buildings in front of us . It came in low and fast and in an instant an American bald eagle soared over a three story building with a large snake in its talons .
The snake had stopped writhing before the eagle made it over the top of that building having in its sudden death, fulfilled its destiny in life . It was an an unforgettable sight of true nature right smack in the middle of suburbia .
There are a number of violent things things I’ve witnessed that I hope to forget someday, but this isn’t one of them ……..
Soar like an eagle, or crawl like a snake
