Is there something in your life that you regret? Has an animal’s experience ever mirrored your own life lessons? What did the animal’s actions show you about your situation?

The Falcon’s Return

Janette Warren

Kirkland, Washington

A friend gave me Deepak Chopra’s book The Return of Merlin, to stir my imagination and create hope for new possibilities within me. Merlin the magician had trained himself, with extraordinary discipline, to create the life he wanted for himself. He developed the ability to transform himself into anything he chose — a stone, a tree — or to disappear into the ether at will. The form Merlin most often used was that of a falcon. 2 To me, this feat of becoming a falcon showed the degree to which anything is possible if the desire is strong enough.

I was nearing the end of Chopra’s book, and its powerful images were fresh in my consciousness. As I drove home from the grocery store, I was astonished to see a falcon sitting on a city sidewalk. I sensed that this falcon had been sent to deliver a spiritual message I sorely needed at this time in my life, but I didn’t know what it could be. I wanted to get out of the car and investigate, but I had a heavy schedule and needed to get the groceries home.

After putting my groceries away, though, curiosity overcame me. So I drove slowly back down the same street where I’d seen the falcon, looking everywhere for the bird. Suddenly I heard a thump on my car. It sounded as if something had hit the window. I didn’t see anything on the ground, so I kept on driving. Then a woman jogger across the street slowed down her pace and gave me a huge smile.

Soon I came to a stoplight. In my rearview mirror, I noticed some commotion in the car behind me. A woman got out of the car and ran up to my window. With a big grin on her face, she asked, “Do you have a pet falcon?”

Like a child who knows that some surprise will be in store, I said, “No-o-o” in a long, drawn-out, questioning tone. She then told me that I’d had a falcon riding on the roof of my car for some time. He had just flown away as she approached me.

Immediately I pulled over, got out of my car, and sat on a porch step near the area where the falcon had flown away. I waited for ten minutes, but the bird never returned.

Touched deeply, I left all possibilities open for the exact meaning of this experience. But the image of Merlin’s falcon, followed by a visit from a living falcon, had shown me that anything is possible.
