The condor soars high,
killing nothing,
yet living by eating
that is already dead.
Consuming the past
what is no longer alive.
We humans purify our lives
by allowing ourselves
to consume and digest
the story, our history
of who we were,
of places we’ve
loved and rooted
and accomplishments we’ve crowed.
In order to fly
high and clear
and free
and be all that
we can be.
