Family Dynamics: The Eagles at Big Bear Valley
The Same Conditions: Different Results
After watching two families raised by Jackie and Shadow, it’s interesting to see how the same set of conditions can produce different results, depending on unknown circumstances and personal differences in the ways we adapt to change.
Sunny and Gizmo, the first family I observed, was made of two sisters who shared a close bond. They spent less time at home after they fledged. One waiting on the other to the day they could soar together before they left home for good.
Sandy and Luna are sister and brother (respectively). Sandy extended a lot of courtesy to her younger brother who tended to pester and was inclined to take the first food all for himself. Luna accidently knocked Sandy out of the nest, and spent a lonely night without her before he took flight.
Unlike the other two, they are sticking together close to the nest as their homebase for exploring Jackie and Shadow’s favorite perches in the neighborhood. They appreciate home delivery services. Overall, Jackie and Shadow had an easier time with them. Jackie didn’t have to spend a week buried in snow. She looked worse for wear by the time Sunny and Gizmo fledged. As before, Shadow appeared well-groomed in his black and white tuxedo.

The Creation: An Offering of Redemption (13 Offering/MULUC)
Wesak Offering to Living Water, 2020
Ascension of the Christ Spirit
John 3:16 KJV
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
A Divine Father planned an Offering from the beginning so we might be redeemed by the Father’s Love. Earth/CABAN is the Force of the Creator’s Divine Nature that completes the end.
John 14:6 KJV
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
We are redeemed by Faith in the Offering. The Divine Justice for the Savior is our Atonement. We are redeemed by every Offering to See and Acknowledge the Creator’s Love.
Galatians 6:7-9 KJV
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Fledge Watch: Big Bear Valley, Luna Takes Flight
An Empty Nest
Luna slept on the front porch last night and made his daring leap this morning. Shadow kept him company for a while after Sandy’s departure, though he spent the night. Enough is enough of that. He is potted hanging out near Shadow’s perch. No sign yet of Sandy, though she and mother, Jackie have been heard together somewhere in the near area.
Sandy and Luna were equally matched for the challenge and Sandy didn’t appear to sustain damage, since she took off again. She should be good to go after a little rest. We’ll have to wait to see if the family gathers for a reunion in the nest.
God bless and keep them all!

The Creation: The Light of the Holy Spirit (2 Flint/ETZNAB)
Uriel is Hebrew for “The Light of God” and “The Fire of God.”
The Power of Blessing
We were born to share God’s Light with the world. God shared the Holy Spirit as an offering of Divine Power. We can share the Light by blessing all things. The Lord is the Source of blessings that overflow every Day, given freely without any conditions. It’s up to us to look to see, and Ask to know the Truth.
Hebrews 6:14-16 KJV
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
The Jaguar’s path is the unseen journey of God’s Spirit in the world that resides within. We don’t have to be seen by the world to fulfill the Creator’s Clarion call to Life in the Spirit.

Invincible Power: A Matter of Life and Death (9 Transformer/CIMI)
The Three Servicemen, statue by Frederick Hart, at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. (Britannica)
Sign of a Major Life Change
A Life begins when we strike out on our own. We’re the spiritual warriors who adapt to the circumstances.
The Vietnam Veterans deserve to be remembered twice this Memorial Day week. The Vietnam War officially started on November 1, 1955, and ended on April 30, 1975.
Over 2.7 million American soldiers served in the Vietnam between 1965 and 1973. On-the-ground armed conflict was uniquely grueling in dense jungle terrain and guerrilla warfare. 58,220 U.S. service members were lost. The survivors didn’t come home to a ticker tape parade.
“The Three Servicemen” sculpture was installed in 1985. In 1993 the Vietnam Women’s Memorial was unveiled a short distance from the wall. The bronze sculpture, depicting three women caring for an injured soldier, recognized the work of the more than 10,000 women who served in Vietnam.
The Vietnam Women’s Memorial was established to honor the 265,000 military and civilian women who served around the world during the Vietnam War. It is the nation’s first—and still its only—memorial to military women on the National Mall.
Thank you. We honor the sacrifice.

Invincible Power: An Initiation of Light (8 Serpent/CHICCHAN)
Truth Exalted in the Zenith Hour of Light
A Time was given for the Light to shine directly from Above. Jesus didn’t choose the perfect examples, but chose disciples that were all broken in different ways.
The Zenith Hour is the Lord’s Time to shine on us with its most direct light. Geomagnetic forces overcome gravity, when we are near to the source. So are we being raised by the tides to the Blue Moon, May 31, 2026. Powers beyond Humans control to change, are changed by a Hand Above. Mother Earth keeps returning us to the Time and Place.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Invincible Power: In God’s Hands (2 Storm/CAUAC)
Butterfly Nebula – NGC 6302
United Through Our Prayers
Isaiah 65:24 KJV
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
We are lost, but for the Mercy and Love of the Father. As we are convicted of the Truth, the Breakdown leads to a Breakthrough to the realm of Spirit. The Father is witness to the Truth in our Heart.
This cycle brings the Truth to Light. The misery in the world weighs heavy until we kneel before the Cross. We are faced with the Truth of our Human limitations. In our desperation we kneel and pray with all our heart. That’s the Sign that it’s Time for a Miracle that is revealed as the Answer to our Prayers.

Empowerment: The Future Within Our Grasp (11 Eagle/MEN)
Our Highest Hopes and Aspirations
A Divine Father shared the Light of a Dream that was completed from the beginning. What is created in one realm is manifested in all others. As it is in Heaven, it shall be on Earth. The only thing left to Human’s Hand is Faith in the Lord.
Isaiah 40:31 KJV
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Faith is not a feeling. It’s a choice. Faith is God’s creation. Asking without feeling the Truth is an Act of Faith in the Lord. The Sacred Exchange is Feeling the Truth when the Lord raises Faith to Knowing.
Hebrews 12:2 KJV
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.o real-ize the One Source of Truth and Light that is faithful to the highest good of Every One.

Empowerment: Holy Day of Destiny (8 Road/EB)
A Witness from the Beginning to the End
8 Road/EB is the “Day of Destiny” a Holy Day by Mayan tradition. It marks a Collective Experience witnessed by the whole that calls us to make a choice for the future. Human’s Destiny is the Witness of Time as Ordered by the Author of our Creation.
May 14, 2026 is celebrated as the Feast of Saint Matthias by the lectionary of the Roman Catholic Church. Matthias was chosen as the “13th apostle” to replace Judas Iscariot. Jesus had hundreds of disciples, but only chose twelve primary apostles. The difference between a disciple and an apostle is that one is a student and the other a sent-messenger appointed to fulfill the prophecy of the Word. Matthias was selected via the casting of lots to restore the number to twelve, ensuring they represented the twelve tribes of Israel. He was selected because he followed Jesus from his baptism to his ascension, meeting the requirements to be a witness to the Resurrection (Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 1).
The Holy Day of Destiny is a celebration for those who choose by Faith to become a witness to the Truth from the beginning to the end.
Each of the 12 were chosen to represent a cross-section of Humanity by their different ways of being. Taking the place of Judas, Matthias became the patron saint of hope and perseverance for those battling worldly addictions.
