As always when a creature enters my world on any given day, I looked up its meaning:
The appearance of an Eagle signifies a new beginning is coming soon. Whether it is a positive beginning or not depends on the energy you are putting out. The law of attraction states that what you give out, you receive. If you want good to come to you, put out good and positive thoughts. Eagle will help by bringing the opportunities to you. This new beginning could be a spiritual awakening. Eagle is a demanding totem, but one that offers so much reward at the end of the journey. Its four-toed feet remind you to stay grounded even when soaring high; its talons remind you to grasp the things of the earth; its sharp beak shows you when to speak, how much, and how strongly. This totem will show you opportunities and how to ride the winds to your benefit. Eagle people can live in the realm of the spirit yet still remain connected and balanced within the realm of the Earth. You must become much more than you ever dreamed possible.
We are poised on an edge of newness, if we let it be. So much chance wrapped into words, if it's what we are meant for.
I think of the eagle daily, trying not to lose his picture in my mind. I'm trying to draw from him to calm my ever-working thoughts, and just go in his direction, wherever it might be.
