Hawks & Peacocks
A L O H A !
“In many traditions,
hawks are sacred:
Apollo’s messengers
for the Greeks,
sun symbols for the
ancient Egyptians and, in
the case of the Lakota Sioux,
embodiments of clear vision,
speed and single-minded
dedication.”
John Burnside
Don't seek TRUTH,
just stop being so invested
in your own point of view,
and it will reveal itself to you.
Peacock Car
“How come it can’t fly
no better than a chicken?’
Milkman asked.
Too much tail. All that jewelry
weighs it down. Like vanity.
Can’t nobody fly with all that [stuff].
Wanna fly, you got to give up
the [stuff] that weighs you down.’
The peacock jumped onto the
hood of the Buick and once more
spread its tail, sending the
flashy Buick into oblivion.”
Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon
