Night held the town in a gentle silence. In one home a man sat alone, his family away in sleep. His thoughts followed the rhythm of the music muffled by the ear- phones he wore. The vibrations of “Child of Vision pulsated through his emotions and brought rest. The young tree out on the lawn held up the stars with its growing branches. The moonlight fell through them, streaming between the parted drapes and across an easy chair. As his eyes traced the moonbeam, he saw formed in the light and shadow the shape of an eagle flying. It soared through the night with a breathtaking majesty and grace. The discovery of an image of such power bathed him in awe. The magic of the moment set- tled in him and grew over the next day. He led two young ones back to the room when midnight poised above the house, waiting to hap- pen. Settling them in comfortable chairs, he equipped them with ear- phones and played the song he had listened to when he saw the image. He wanted to capture that beautiful eagle for these two and those like them. Before evening had drifted into early morning, they had recorded the shape on delicate photographic film. The young ones used that shadowy form as a pattern for a dazzling design. And the spirit they felt and were became the symbol they lived by. 1981 GOLDEN EAGLE Junction High School 1700 College Street Junction, Texas 76849 Volume 33 Golden Eagle • I
