The Eagles

Eagles came to our circle today - as they always seem to do. Each time, theree is something special - their gift, or their message.  Today, in our circle of 260? 300? people, first one circled low overhead, flying in a diameter so similar to the size of our circle.  Around and around, in such an unusually tight, circular flight.  The chief of Clayquot was speaking, his family/people were drumming and singing an honour song, 2 Elders were leading and inviting women from our circle to dance - and all the while the eagle was flying overhead.  As our procedings continued, our eagle circled higher and further afield, but still close - and then another joined.  Together they flew - listening, I swear.  I believe their message to us was one of safety, protection - wishing us well.  As I thought this, thanking them, asking for their guidance and strength, they flew due east and 2 more eagles joined. It felt as if they were tking all our toughts and prayers with them - heading towards the sun.
