“Red-tailed hawk shooting down the canyon, put me on that wind he rides….”
John Hiatt, “Before I Go,” Crossing Muddy Waters
It can mean unmoored, which has a negative cast. A seacraft untethered and adrift. People disconnected from the beings and world around them.
But, like John Hiatt’s red-tailed hawks, it can also mean soaring, not constricted in movement or by gravitational pull. Floating and exploring in wide open spaces. In free flight, not freefall.
Sails and netting unfurling and clouds and banners weaving their way across a cloudless sky. Ribbons of fish. Animals safely roaming.
Unbounded.
Sea lions voguing. Starlings’ murmurations.
Voices carrying, over time and space. In gentle reminders and spirited song and animated discussion.
Breaking free. Taking off.
Dreams. Hope.
Grief.
Love.
Love in the Spaces
