when getting close enough we saw he was holding a large white owl.

the amazing creature held by the man.

he stood there, holding the bird of prey gently between his hands,

a little like those paintings of Mary cradling Jesus.

I think of that now because there was something sacred in that moment,

a small moment that goes beyond the ordinary and for a second stop time.
