An appointment with destiny is waiting

The road curled around to the right. It ended at a big open meadow. Nothing but peace and tranquility lived there. We heard the birds, saw the wild flowers, smelled the sweetness in the air. The monument was not that large and if you drove by even a little fast you would miss it. If you missed it you missed a story that should never be missed. It was a memorial to the Screaming Eagles who sacrificed so much in that June 1944 battle for the liberation of Europe. For them the battle did not begin on D Day. It began on D Night. The night before the day when the Screaming Eagles parachuted into occupied France to begin the battle that was to define and redefine a world. An appointment with destiny. Destiny. Think about it. Do you live a life that you feel is part of an appointed destiny or is it simply another day at the … fill in the blank. Do you see a larger picture that you walk through or some myopic self portrait. Can you sense a legacy or is it just getting to lunch and a too typical phrase of thank goodness it is Friday as if nothing before had meaning and you were just waiting to leave. Is it a life of getting ready to leave or an adventure with time and purpose and meaning that is larger than one. Can you parachute into a world of purpose. Can you live a life that you were destined to live. Don't give up on the dream. The passion. The destiny. It is ageless. Regain your voice. The Screaming Eagles are waiting.
