I live my life in growing orbits
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.
I am circling around God,
around the ancient tower,
and I have been circling for a thousand years,
and still I don’t know
if I’m a falcon,
a storm,
or an unfinished song.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Hours

Such a clear shot! Beautiful!
It is!
no matter which, enjoy the flight and the view. when lost, cats walk in spiral patterns, circling into smaller and smaller areas until they hit on dead center – home.
Enjoy the flight, no matter what. Here cones Shinto, yet again. Bravo
“An unfinished song,” yup, that’s me. 🙂
Me too plus Cat. 4 Hurricane Storm

You are welcome!
I’m a soaring falcon singing in a storm, making up the music as I go.
That’s right Mimi. Soar with reckless abandon! Love it.
Maybe not if you heard me sing. 😉 Just kidding – if I was a falcon who was soaring and had a little wine in me, you’d actually be more impressed with my singing than my aeronautic facility.
Laughing!
I’m going with an unfinished song….
OK!
