Have you ever imagined the sheer joy that birds must experience just taking off into the air, flying about with a freedom and agility of movement we can know only in our dreams. It is fitting that their songs be so joyous and full of life.
When we observe an object closely and really look, we can see something more than mere physical appearance. We begin to "see" the essence of what we are looking at. If we are totally present, watching a tiny bird puff up its little chest and sing with abandon, we can know something of its nature. Something inside our own being takes flight and resonates with the joy of his song as we watch him soar into the sky on wings of freedom. |
