On the way back I'm warmed up and start my arm, shoulder and neck exercises, trying to get all systems online for the day. I was absorbed in that when I saw this fly overhead.

I stopped in my tracked, breathless. He was so beautiful. When he was almost out of sight he turned and came back, circled just above me; once, twice, three times. I felt like I was praying; it was that magical. I felt visited.

WOW!!! That was a very special treat for you. Makes the day start off great!
Isn't it a mystical thing to see? I'm an early riser and have seen our local owl glide silently by just before dawn. I'll never stay up late enough to see Jay Leno but he certainly can't compare to what is offered to those of us who greet the dawn.
Awesome!

How neat! That beautiful creature was welcoming you to a new day --and probably on his way to roost after a busy night.
The stars are still out when you're out walking??? That sounds very early, indeed. Can you tell that I'm not an early riser? :-)
couldn't help but go in search of the symbolism of the owl in other cultures...

I like the idea that he was there as a protector to watch over you.
glad to see you posting again!
