On my way to my second job today, I happened to see a GIANT bird of prey hanging out in the front yard of a mansion in one of the swankiest neighborhoods in Nashville. I wanted to stop and check it out, take a picture, sketch it, study it, or at least get a closer look to be able to ask someone if it was a hawk, falcon or eagle of some kind, but, I kept driving.
Instead of being sad that I couldn't commune with nature, I started giggling, remembering that one of my coworkers' dad's has decided to become a falconer. You know, the guy with the giant glove that has a bird that can peck his eye out if he looks at him funny on his hand. I couldn't wait to tell her what I saw and ask about the bird her dad has. Of course, I forgot as soon as I got to work and had to muscle my way into a parking space. That, and she wasn't there today.
That giggly moment made my day. I hope something majestic made yours, too.
