Description
This is the image that opens that chapter — and once you’ve seen it, you understand why.
Look closely at the right eye. It’s not a blink. It’s an injury. This eagle has been through something. And yet here it stands — head up, gaze fierce, utterly unbroken.
That is resilience. Not the absence of damage, but the refusal to be defined by it.
The Bald Eagle has faced extinction and come back. This one faced something more personal — and came back too.
This print is from the Resilience chapter of The Spirit of Birds.
