My spirit name






I headed out on my river walk this morning under a damp and blustering sky. My neck hurt and my spirits were low so the birds came. Eagles. What a thing to stop you from thinking of anything but blog posts.

What do the eagles say? They say:

Always think in blog posts.

One bald eagle swooped and dipped and glided around me but followed my general path, coming close and venturing away, for so long that I had a delightful sensation that I was taking a walk with an eagle.

If I had been a native to this land perhaps my name would have been Walks With Eagles. That would have been a good name, but I probably would have been called Mocks the Chief. Which would have been an okay name too.

    1. You're welcome. This works well as I consider the spiritual realm to be chatty and insouciant.

    2. Thank you for introducing me to a new word: "insouciant". Found an online tool that pronounced it for me so I can say it, not just know it's meaning. Crazy what's available these days on the web.

    3. It was my pleasure.

      I guess now I'll have no good excuse for going around mispronouncing words I've only read. Ah well, sest la vee.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
