I received this as an email as a forward. cheerful It is wondrous (but I know not the source). So I quote:

Not many people get a picture of this proud bird snuggled up next to them.


[Linked Image]


Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places . She's my baby.

When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks.

This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning.

She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day.

We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. I got her used to the glove, and then the jesses and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington . We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even did a show about us.

In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.

Fast forward to November 2000, the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone.

So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long. That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird..

On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that.I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedoms. Hope you enjoy this.

JUST spread your wing and FLY bird

cryingOMG, how beautiful! Thank you for sharing that. I read this post on the eagle & was so touched taht I was suddenly inspired to post one of my favorite animal/human bonding video. So I decide to first make my video post, then I would reply to your post. OK so I go to the top of the page to hit 'new topic', & notice while I'm up there that I have a PM. So I read your PM(which I have so much to say on!), & then I go to post my video & as i'm typing it out, I notice that the main character (the lion) Is named "Christian" = Christ-ian! Oh wait it gets better. So then I also realize that the video is called Christian the Lion! C&L how 'bout that!

About your great post, I absolutely believe that the eagle is this man's Totum. I don't know if your fimiliar w/this term or not, but it means animal spirit guide. Sometimes they accompany us in our present physical lives, & sometimes they only accompany us in spirit, as they may have already lived one of our lives w/us previously in a past life, & thus are connected & bonded w/us for eternity.

A Totum can also be an animal that has never lived with you in a physical life, but is still bonded with you from your relationship with it on the other side.

I always thought that your wolf was your Totum, until you told me that you think it's another "self" of yours. And you would know best, since you have such a strong relationship with that entity.

I absolutely loved this story of yours! And I think that the very first picture of the story says it all!

I have always wondered what my Totum is. I would be inclined to think it is the giraffe, but most people see hear or dream of their Totum if it is infact in spirit form. I haven't had any dreams of a giraffe that I can remember, & I've never heard/seen a giraffe in spirit form. So I'm really not sure, but even if it isn't, I still feel pulled to the giraffe all the time. giraffe2

Freedom's story reminds me of the song 'With A broken wing' by Martina Mcbride...

"And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly" [Linked Image]

Thanks for that, Jaime! hug

Coool synch with Christ-ian. It all means so much more, these behind-the-scene soul communications we are having whilst making posts.

I have heard of totems before and I'd have to say if I have one it has to be a wolf. Or a bat, as they feature very heavily in my spirit experiences.

I'd love for you to realize what yours is! Hmmm... scratchchin Which animals have you dreamed of?
