For the past year or so I have been followed by hawks. A hawk will fly right in front of me when I’m sitting on the porch, one will circle my car out on the highway. Often as I’m driving a hawk will swoop in front of me while I’m driving, causing me to watch its descent and path through the woods. Two days ago a hawk flew right over my car and landed on the side of the road where it stood next to me like a sentry. The day before that I was out in the woods and a hawk circled overhead squawking at me. Today while I was driving another hawk circled low over my car.

I know I have a tendency to look for meaning everywhere, and sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. But still, these hawk events seem to be beyond coincidence. I asked Rich if hawks were following him and if he had these experiences, and he said “Only when I’m with you.” I can’t help but feel that the hawks have something to say, but I’m not getting it. Perhaps the hawk is now my totem, but I have no idea what to do with that. I think in astrology symbols, not totems!

I did find this cool site that says about hawks:

Hawk is able to soar high above the earth to soar on the breath of Spirit, to commune with Spirit and thus understand through the intuitive level what the message means and with their keen eyesight, how to implement it once they return to earth through seeing the broader picture below.

I’m sure that if there is something I’m supposed to learn from the hawks that eventually I’ll be made aware of it, but meanwhile I know there are some brilliant and insightful readers out there. Any ideas?
