Fly like an eagle

So much going on; much of it just maddening. However, I experienced something absolutely beautiful a few days ago. First,I was out on the lake with 4 of my favorite people in the world. It was beautiful. Lake was calm, sky was blue, water was a little chilly. 3 bald eagles could be seen soaring not far from the boat. One of them began circling low near the  water and dove straight down, submerged for a second or two, but came up with empty talons. A few minutes later another came soaring from the treetops and dove into the lake. He was submerged for not more than 2 seconds. He came up out of the water in a flurry with a wriggling silver fish in his talons. It was like something out of Wild Kingdom to watch. He b-lined it back to the tree tops tightly grasping that fish the whole way.  

A change of scenery, being out of the office, away from the phone and computer is healing. I feel my diapraghm begin to open up on the windy drive to the lake. I breath slower before we ever pull out of the boat slip and feel like a new person before getting out of the idle zone. For some people it's alcohol, others it is sex, and some it a vacation that takes them away. For me it is this beautiful lake only 15 minutes from door to dock.
