The Eagle and the Sun

July 19, 2002

Steve-

In recent months I have been receiving visions during my morning prayer session and would like to share the following:

I was standing on a hill over-looking a lush forest-like area. The sun was low on the distant horizon. A shadow of an enormous bird swept across the landscape from directly above where I was standing. The bird landed on a large tree nearby, I could see that it was an eagle. Shortly thereafter the eagle flew toward the sun and grabbed the top of the sun with its talon and tried to pull it back up into the sky but did not succeed. The eagle then flew back to the large tree, the sun slowly dropped below the horizon and the land went into total darkness. It was so dark that you couldn't even see your hand 2" in front of your face. It remained dark for a while (not sure how long). Then to my left, the sun started to come up even though it didn't seem to be coming up in the east. The new light now revealed a landscape which looked like it had been swept over by a forest fire. There was an occassional vine-like growth coming out of the ground. I some how knew these vines would be growing quickly and be good for the land. The big eagle had not moved, but now looked really bad...sickly feathers, skinny and malnurished and it could not fly. All it could do is just sit on the branch. End of vision.
