The Hawk That Climbed on Nothing
On a warm, cloudless afternoon in a wide meadow, a patient observer watches a hawk rise in slow circles without once beating its wings, and, in trying to explain the mystery, discovers that understanding is only a vessel, and that beauty is complete whether or not we can name how it happens.
Retold from The Life of the Fields, by Richard Jefferies.
