The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when
they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation.
The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird
aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America.
~ JFK in a letter to the Audubon Society

In the first photo above I captured an eagle flying high in a clear blue sky with the sun brightly shining upon it. 

In the second photo I also captured an eagle, this time surveying the world from a dead tree and the sky is completely clouded over.

Symbolically, numerology also offers a synchronous view in this moment.

Trump is President #45.  4 + 5 = 9
The number 9 represents the completion of a cycle: Endings, closure, the old.

Biden is President #46.  4 + 6 = 10 which reduces to 1. (1 + 0 = 1)
The number 1 represents the initiation of a cycle: Beginnings, openings, the new.

Happy New Year! Bring your courage for continued strength and freedom in this New Cycle.
