🦅 The Red-Tailed Hawk — Truth, Intuition & Patience
For over an hour, I watched and waited for him to fly in a tree across the street from my house. We rarely get Hawk as a visitor in my suburban track. I knew this was special. I sat in my front yard and waited. Even though I knew my neighbors may think I’m odd.
I sat there patiently, observing him, wondering when he would finally spread his wings and take off. I wanted to be present for that moment—to witness it after all that time waiting.
Then, after an hour, I finally walked away to use the bathroom.
And somehow, in that brief moment when I wasn’t watching…
he chose to fly.
I couldn’t help but feel there was something deeper in that timing.
I hadn’t stopped caring.
I hadn’t given up.
I hadn’t decided I was done watching.
I simply had to step away.
And that made me think about how often we believe we have to remain completely focused on something for it to unfold. We watch. We wait. We anticipate. We try to catch the exact moment everything changes.
But sometimes life reminds us:
You don’t have to watch everything happen for it to be real.
The hawk didn’t wait for my eyes to be on him.
He didn’t need me to witness his departure.
He simply knew when it was time.
Maybe that’s what his sudden flight taught me about truth, intuition, and patience:
Truth doesn’t require our constant attention.
Intuition doesn’t always give us the whole picture.
And patience isn’t about controlling the outcome—it’s about trusting the process, even when we have to look away.
I waited for an hour to see him fly.
And the moment I stepped away, he took his opportunity.
Maybe I didn’t miss the moment.
Maybe the moment was teaching me that some things are meant to happen without our eyes on them.
🦅 Trust what you know.
Trust what you feel.
Trust the timing.
And trust that what is meant to move will move—even when you’re not watching. ✨
Many blessings
