| What is a white eagle doing in Durant, Oklahoma? |
| In November of 2005--right prior to Thanksgiving--William Lloyd was driving to one of the Love's gas stations in Durant, OK. While at the intersection of Evergreen and 6th (right across from the bail bondsman), William saw, much to his amazement, a white eagle in the middle of the street. The majestic bird was standing casually amongst several other ordinary birds that were picking at debris on the street. William stopped his car (there was no other traffic at the time) and took a long hard look at this incredible sight. The eagle, so it appeared, returned William's gaze, and it was as if the eagle grinned and winked. In a sustained effort to understand and explain this vision, William sought information from friends, relatives, his therapist, fellow professors, naturalists (or people who know about that kind of stuff), clergy and assorted sages, and our lord Google. Yet, no satisfactory answers were given. "I saw a white eagle on a street in my town. No one believed me. How could it be? Uh huh, I'll figure it out now." As it is said, understanding and wisdom are given to those that diligently seek them, and each person must ultimately discover these things on his own (just like in The Wizard of Oz!). And so it was that William eventually came to an understanding--in both a literal and a symbolic sense--of his encounter with the white eagle. The literal explanation is rather ordinary, but the symbolic . . . William wrote a song called "White Eagle," and he likes to say that the song is "for children of all ages, because it is about you: About who you are, and about who you can become." That is also where the name for the school came from. Fortunate is the person who has been granted (and who sincerely participates in the creation of) a story (or myth if you will--Will-I-Am, I do not like green eggs and ham. In fact, I never liked eggs at all, let alone green ones) to explain one's self to one's self. "You're a prince and you're a poet, open your heart and then you'll know it." |
