Majority of us are flapping birds, we use our muscles to stay in flight. Because we use our own energy, we will sooner or later feel the need to land / perch to rest ie short spurts of energy with short term effects.
Some of us have found out the secret of the soaring birds, who just simply be, riding on the drafts of the hot air rising from the surface of the earth. That is, we can choose not to over exert the muscles, not to stress out and to wisely conserve energy for life’s marathon run.
The soaring flight of big birds such as eagles, kites, sea gulls, is always beautiful to watch. Always, graceful, effortless and with a beautiful depiction of freedom. Lots of mileage, with minimal effort.
The hummingbird on the other hand burns energy very quickly to stay hovering [no forward or backward movement].
It is such a beautiful reminder to me to let go, and let God. Let God be the wind below my wings, and I will rest while soaring like the eagle without getting tired.
I want to soar…..
