Driving home the pair of eagles were side-by-side in the tree next their nest. It was getting dark and cold and rain had just begun. Yet there they sat, sentinels to the massive nest they have built together over the last years. I'm not sure how that image signals my own feelings, it stirred something in me.
My life isn't the way I thought it would be. And yet I am not really sure how it was supposed to be after all. I miss Mom and Dad, and Dan. I don't miss unhappiness, uncertainty, unhealthiness, and disconnectedness.
I feel physically well, for a change, just unsettled. Christmas makes me wistful, and yet happy. I am grateful for my family that hold up in the gale force circumstances that at times surround us. I am thankful for the year ending with all my siblings still here with me.
Somehow I think I feel like those two eagles. Days may get dark, cold and wet in the circumstances, yet we sit together, near our family on the lookout for their protection.
We are still together and connected.
