| The Eagle has landed |
It can live up to 70 years, but
to reach that age the eagle must make a hard decision.
In its 40’s, its long and
flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food.
Its long and sharp beak becomes
bent.
Its old-age and heavy wings, due
to their thick feathers, becomes stuck to its chest and makes it difficult to
fly.
Then, the eagle is left with only
two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires that the
eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest.
There the eagle knocks its beak
against a rock until it plucks it out.
After plucking it out, the eagle
will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its talons by
scratching them on the rock.
When the talons grow back, the
eagle starts plucking its old-aged feathers.
And after five months, the eagle
takes its famous flights of rebirth and lives for 30 more years.
When it rains, most of the birds head
for shelter; the eagle is the only bird that, in order to avoid rain, starts
flying above the clouds.
Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope/
trust in the Lord will renew their strength. They will sour on wings like
eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
