Photo credit for Eagle Attacking Swan to Tom Carver, Lakelse Lake, BC
For the last two weeks, at least once a day, if not more, I either see an Eagle or get pictures of eagles from friends. Today, this picture arrived in a set of pictures in an email from a friend. The sequence of pictures shows an Eagle attacking the Swan. At the end, the Swan gets free, drops into the lake, and swims to live another day. The Eagle goes home hungry.
There are many archetypal stories that this conflict represents. The one that comes up for me is one of the conflict of male vs female. The white swan is very much associated with the feminine, and the eagle is the warrior male.
I would love to hear what story this picture brings up for you.
