Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
but what if she has a nest on that branch then she will be affraid, sometimes we are dependent on others because we love something more than ourselves and that is natural its beyond once control
That’s a great point. I think it’s natural to fear losing people we love, and it’s a good thing that our instincts compel us to protect them. But I do love this idea that we can lessen our fear, when it comes to threats that don’t affect others, by having faith in ourselves.
I wonder if the bird identifies with the wings? Or instead experiences “wings happening”.
Interesting! I wonder too…
So for the bird its probably not much different between trusting “branch happens” and trusting “wings happen”! 🙂
Believe in ourselves
