<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="http://www.camdenmainevacation.com/">Camden, Maine</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey.    </p><p>No matter how many times I see them soar overhead, chase predators away from their nest, cast a long shadow over a field, perch on a tree top, or chirp with their high-pitched whistles, my heart stops when I see an eagle. <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bald_Eagle/sounds">Click to hear the sounds</a>.</p><p>I hold my breath. A fleeting moment or three.  </p><p>Late at night I hear their ping pong mating calls: the 5-note hoots of the Great Horned Owls courting. <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Horned_Owl/sounds#">Click to hear the sounds</a>. And again in the wee small hours of the dark morning they’re back as if to say we’ve been out and about all night but it’s time we found a place to nest in for the day.</p><p>In these moments something transcendent takes place in my being and I’m no mere earthly mortal tethered to earth but a soul sent to fly. It is then I remember, I remember, I remember how to be free again.</p><p><strong>Question:</strong> What Nature experience un-tethers you and sets you free to fly as your one true Be-ing self?  </p><p><i>60 Seconds is your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.
