I’m trying to develop coaching techniques for women going through change in their lives and am particularly keen to use the affinity and cues we can get from nature to help us – you so describe what I mean when you say ‘some weak thing fluttering inside my ribcage, the beating of phantom wings against my heart a reminder that even a little piece of the wilderness can make us feel a little more alive’ Just love this! Course you are very funny too. Very fine post indeed.

Enough said. Her topics are wide-ranging – based more on the quality of the narrative, not the content alone. If you’re a very focussed equestrian blog reader I guess you might not appreciate the non-horsey posts – but how could you not respond in some way to something like this? [...]

Love your writing style, turn of phrase and metaphors. The image of a mugger sucking on an old food stamp gave me such a chuckle.

My life’s just mundane enough at the moment that I have to take the blogging opportunities where I get them. :D

This seems to be a time of year when bald eagles are wintering in more populated areas… in February there’s a whole bald eagle viewing day here in the Salt Lake area that I might try out. I know really nothing about their traveling patterns or whether they sort of follow the salmon runs or what, but I do know you’re more likely to see them this time of year.

A few years ago I was driving not far from here on my way back to LA and hit a long patch of very heavy fog on the freeway… like traffic was going 10mph or less, though there were very few cars. A bald eagle suddenly swooped out of the fog, flew right above my windshield (he was probably about a foot from the glass) and disappeared again on the other side. Totally blew my mind, I’ll never forget it.

He’s a big cupcake really (even though he’s so big that people often cross the street at the sight of him). There was one time when he sort of lunged at a guy who was acting kind of strange (high or drunk, I think) which made me think maybe he wouldn’t be completely useless in a fight. ;D Just having him with me is really nice when I’m running alone and things like that, but I’d love to teach him to bark on command or something like that. (It’s unlikely to work… I’ve only heard him bark twice in the whole time I’ve had him.)

Speaking of which, I need to get started on those books about ravens that I have on my shelf so I know what I’m looking at with all those corvids. :D

I was pretty sure the “eagle” was going to turn out to be in his pants. :D
