The Whisper of Wings<br />

by Jake Stasko, Academy<br />

For Brother Jim: Member of the 1st Club, my Consiglieri, my Friend, my Brother<br />

I'm so tired now; so very, very tired...<br />

and confused.<br />

I wish I had those elusive, magical answers<br />

(or even knew where to look for them)<br />

for the overworked questions that everyone asks<br />

during times.. .such as this.<br />

My only recourse is to close my eyes<br />

and force myself to travel backward into my memories<br />

in an effort to escape<br />

to other times.. .and other places...<br />

Far, far away, from the excruciating reality<br />

that is here and now.<br />

A time of innocence...<br />

of searching, experiencing, and learning.<br />

As my thoughts begin to crystalize<br />

the pain I have been feeling, momentarily starts to ease<br />

and is replaced by a steadily increasing feeling of<br />

renewed amazement, as I once again gaze out across<br />

an open expanse of forested carpet that stretches out<br />

far below me.<br />

It's quiet here. So very quiet.<br />

I remember this place.. .a quiet, El Dorado County mountain plateau,<br />

from so many <strong>August</strong> afternoons of long ago.<br />

There is absolutely no apparent movement...<br />

No easily discernible sound.<br />

I again experience a sudden flood of emotions...<br />

of being overjoyed and overwhelmed<br />

(by the incredible magnitude that is Nature)<br />

But I feel strangely apprehensive, also.<br />

Perhaps if by only the sudden realization<br />

of being totally alone<br />

and somehow vulnerable.<br />

I can still feel myself slipping deeper and deeper<br />

into this all enveloping experience of complete solitude...<br />

My thoughts are racing, out of control, ever faster and faster<br />

in no particular direction...<br />

even though, subconsciously, I know that I'm not<br />

in any real or apparent danger.<br />

This almost unbearable crash of silence has become deafening,<br />

and is so overpowering that my initial apprehension<br />

is quickly being replaced by near borderline fear.<br />

As I struggle to regain control of my emotions,<br />

I find that I am gratefully distracted by.. .what?<br />

What is that sound?<br />

Is it the result of an already over-stimulated imagination...<br />

or the wind...<br />

or perhaps, a whisper?<br />

Almost indiscernible, at first,<br />

but as I attempt to locate its source<br />

I find myself becoming somehow calmer,<br />

as my attention eventually drifts skyward.<br />

With the aid of this seemingly intangible force,<br />

I have regained control of my emotions.<br />

The "whisper," that I thought I heard is in actuality<br />

the muffled, methodical, movement of an eagle's wings in flight.<br />

I know it wasn't a voice, so much that I heard,<br />

but rather some underlying message<br />

assuring me that everything would be all right..<br />

That no matter what happened I wouldn't be alone,<br />

and that I could overcome and survive<br />

this disconcerting, if only momentary,<br />

feeling of complete vulnerability and insecurity.<br />
