Poem
All Eagles!! There is a time in everyone’s life when Mother Eagle throws you out of the nest and either you fly or die, All Eagles!! There are times in your life where those closest to you make you feel like the worst person ever born. All Eagles! When you feel yourself plummeting to the ground at ever increasing speed and the only future you feel is your body splattered on the ground. All Eagles! When you lose all of your faculties and feel like there are little creatures crawling around in your body, All Eagles! When you are diagnosed with terminal and inoperable Cancer. All Eagles! When your spouse divorces you for your closest friend, and you have to see the two of them once a week as custody alternates, All Eagles! When the investors of your startup all decide to pull out, and the electric company threatens to turn your lights off if you don’t pay the utility bill, All Eagles! When you are plummeting to the ground, assured that your demise is upon you. Feel it! Experience it! Be discouraged! Be afraid! This is natural! But as you descend, and after you have mourned and grieved appropriately, Reach within yourself and find this message: “Little Eagle, I know that I seem like a cruel God to let you experience this. But I have a plan. This is not the end for you. You were destined to fly. But you are an Eagle, and before you fly you must fall, You must fall with terrifying speed, And you must feel like all is lost, And when you let go of everything you thought you wanted out of life, And you say to me, “God what’s next?” That’s when you will feel the strength to spread your wings and sore!! Little Eagle, I know it seems like there isn’t much more that you can try, But don’t give up, Because death is not your destiny, You are created to fly! Now do so!!”
