Stock still, waiting on evergreen branch as evening spans- poised, motionless like a soldier on parade or standing on a threshold between worlds of parallel dimensions.... galaxies beyond reach unknown to worldly senses but seen and heard through inner feeling and ancient heritage.
Movement follows sentry state as head turns full circle and eyes look down scanning ground level for small creatures swift in motion unaware of predator's perception and lofty presence.
Evening gloom dissolves like stars fading in bright sky and night unfolds to growing darkness.... quiet recollection. Head resumes front repose as eyes ascend then brisk in flight the owl moves subtle silhouette to higher point where time and discernment merge and interchange.

Distant peaks emerge....clear as day. The hermit's lantern turns to guide the way. Hermit's Way - F. J. Rogers
