sign...?

so i'm driving back from the valley
a meeting with my licensing Agent
where we've been talking about plans for
THE SACRED GEOMETRY PAINTINGS
traveling exhibitions [along the lines of "ashes & snow"]
& permanent exhibition space;
my new world flag;
the SACRED GEOMETRY TSHIRT line
& even developing my name
DAVID ALEXANDER ENGLISH
as a brand to further promote the work
so it all has a life of it's own beyond me...

i was driving up Topanga Canyon Road
from the valley to the beach
& as i reached the top of the road
the point just before:
"...it's all down hill from here..."

there in the middle of my lane
i see a glimmer of big
flapping
wings...

& my first thought is
"oh no... i hope it's not a bird that's been hit..."
& as i pass out of the direct sunlight
& into the shadow of the hilltop
i can see

& come to a complete stop...
look in the mirror at the whole line of cars behind me
but what can you do...

there right in front of me
is a hawk
that's caught
a snake
in it's claw...

the snake is still alive
but not for long...

the hawk pauses
to make sure of my intentions
in coming to a stop

otherwise it would have to flee
leaving the snake

but when it sees
that i will wait
it gets a better grasp of the snake
& flies a short distance out of the roadway...

hawk medicine
is the messenger of change



serpent
is the 2nd phase of the Scorpionic archetype
of the sorcerer...
scorpio/pluto/ & the 8th house:
divine communion
through sex,
death, transformation & rebirth
hidden knowledge, shared resources,
power, immortality,
reveling in the Great Mystery
& sharing out it's secrets...



the 3rd phase is the Eagle...
the 4th is the Phoenix...

i found myself
whooping...
