A few years ago I saw a red hawk carrying a large snake. Later the same day, I again saw a red hawk carrying a large snake. That image seemed to me to lend itself to interpretation the way people interpret dreams. In a private message to someone on this site, I suggested that the snake represented an animus, and that like the proverbial blind men feeling an elephant, different people would represent an animus in a different way. The next day, someone on another site posted that they'd just dreamed of an eagle carrying an elephant, and what could it mean. I thought that was pretty funny.
Anyway, your eagle could be a Roc.
Fate is scary. I'm not sure I believe that 'bad things happen to good people', because I'm not sure there are any good people. But some things happen that to me just shouldn't be, and I suspect that if anyone's heart isn't broken, it must be that they've managed to avoid paying attention. Maybe you're feeling this kind of anxiety, about things happening outside of your control? It is especially scary with teenagers, because some of them haven't developed have much sense yet, but they're potentially exposed to nearly everything. Even if your kids are safe, you must know or they must know some other kid who isn't, and of course you feel that.
On the upside, a lot of apparent misfortune does work out for the best in the long run, but its hard to tell when you can't see the whole picture. So I guess we need to have faith. Personally, I perceive an amazingly high degree of intelligence and benevolence in providence, even though there's a lot of other stuff getting stirred around that seems wrong. I guess we can't totally understand, but it helps if we allow each other to be honest about what we are feeling, and support each other.
Maybe that's a miss, but I hope it helps a little.
