Friday

At first light, the eagle rises, wings slicing through new sky. East is the place of vision, of questions unasked, of the soul leaning forward. The eagle teaches us an important lesson: To seek is to soar—even before we know where we’re going.

Inspired by Haudenosaunee, Wampanoag, and Cheyenne traditions.
