"When the earth was created, a great thundercloud appeared on the horizon. Flashing lightning and thundering it descended toward the treetops. As the mists cleared, there was an eagle perched on the highest branch. He took flight and flew slowly down to the ground. As he approached the earth, he put forward his foot, and as he stepped upon the ground, he became a man. For this reason we recognize the eagle as a messenger of the creator, and rely upon him to carry word of our actions to the Creator. When the eagle comes to where we are working, we know that someone cares about us and is watching over us." ~from "Eagle" by Erik Phelps |
