Sunday morning 9 a.m.
I saw fire in the sky
I felt my heart pound in my chest
I heard an eagle cry
Now I'm alive
I can breathe the air Feel the wind,
smell the earth in the air
I watch an eagle rise above the trees
Project myself into what he sees
Hey- Take me away
Come on and fly me away
Take me up so high
Where eagles fly
I often dream I sail through the sky
I've always wished I could fly
The simple life of a bird on the wing Oh Lord,
I could sing Take me away
Come on fly me away
Lift me up so high
Where eagles fly Oh yeah-
I'm alive,
I breathe the air
Wash the earth from my face
I catch a glimpse of another dream
I turn,
I look but there's no trace
Take me away
Come on,
fly me away I wanna fly away
Pick me up so high
Where eagles fly Oh yeah-
Eagles fly, oh,
take me away Eagles fly, oh,
take me away Come on,
let's fly away where eagles fly Come on,
fly away where eagles fly
A very special person sent me this song by Sammy Hagar. I was struggling through the darkness and losing my will to keep on trudging. She said she wanted me to keep going because someday she wanted me to be free to fly where Eagles fly. I am grateful for that reminder that faith will get me through the darkness and into the light. Someday with the help of a power greater than myself I will soar like an eagle. Today I took a leap of faith. I was fearful and felt like getting up and running the whole time I was there. Yet I drew on the faith that has been passed to me. I was once told by a wise person, that when you come to the edge of all you know, it's okay to jump off and have faith that you will either be given wings with which to fly, or ground will appear beneath you on which to stand. I took a deep breath and I stepped off the edge of all that I know. The earth didn't open up and swallow me, lightening didn't strike, I got through it and everything was okay......I was given wings, just like I was promised. Thank you so much for this gift of hope. You were right, but you are always right......just takes me a while to hear it sometimes.

Rexie - you are a beautiful beautiful woman and I see that through you and in you and around you. You are a brave soul venturing on this journey and there are many of us, including myself along the path to guide you as you walk along. I know you can do it.
Peace and love to a beautiful soul and woman!
Ah rexie don't you know you are already free to soar where eagles fly...you just have to flap your wings a little harder. Hang in there...and thanks for the beautiful post.
Some days your the chicken flapping up nothing but dust...somedays you get to be the eagle...always strive to be the eagle :)
It is amazing how far you will fly.
