Fly high,
Touch Great Spirit.
Share your medicine,
Touch me, honour me,
So that I may know you too.

On some level, Eagle is telling you to seek higher ground on which to build your nest.
The nest is the home of the heart and cannot remain in a swamp.
If your nest is in a swamp, this may be connected to your belief that your wings are clipped by an impossibility in your present status.

Overview:
Eagle helps you to see beyond the mundane levels of visible existence, for Eagle as a power animal is your connection with your soul Self - your High Self.
Eagle can help you to reach for the shy while still keeping your feet firmly on the ground, and thus combine lofty ideals with practical reality.
Eagle can show you that principles and actions are equally expressions of the spirit.

In American Indian cosmology the eagle "flies closest to the sun," meaning the illuminating light of the Great Spirit.
Therefore, Eagle as a power animal brings enlightenment, which is a sudden flash of illumination of seeing into spiritual truth which hitherto were obscured of unknown.

Connect with spirit.
Feel the freedom found in Oneness.
Let your spirit soar

In learning to fiercely attack your personal fear of the unknown, the wings of your soul will be supported by the ever-present breezes which are the breath of Great Spirit.
