Facing into the wind.

On a recent blustery day, I watched this red shouldered hawk hang in the wind, not moving but facing directly into the wind and riding the current just to stay in place. I’d seen kites flutter vertically in place like angels, and like a hummingbird can do. But I’d never seen a hawk do this. 

Just like how we’re living now, waiting for safety and a new beginning. Just staying where we are takes everything we can muster.
