While on a walk this morning, I found a hawk lying in the road. The light was almost gone from its eyes. Chest barely moving.
I figure it had been hit by a car that it didn't see, or make proper allowance for. One moment it was swooping for a mouse or a rabbit,
thud,
and then a strange creature reached down and set it out of the road.

As I walked on I thought, if that hawk had just made its home in some nearby farmyard, learning to scratch and eat corn, this wouldn't have happened. As I walked further I concluded, I don't think he regretted soaring.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31)
There is no guarantee that you won't get hit by a car, but soar anyhow.
It's STTA
