There lived a little birdie who felt different from the rest of the nest. She was different because she had courage. She had the courage to express the emotions she felt in her heart. The courage to be genuine even if the other birds didn't like who she was. On the contrary, the other birds tried to fit in. To be apart of but not this little birdie. She knew who she was and she knew it was best to stay true to her heart. So she continued on walking to the beat of her own drum, even in this small confined path of the nest. Until finally one day, she realized it was her time to fly away. The day had come to go into uncharted territory. All of the birdies called her crazy. They called her crazy, even though one day they too would eventually take the same journey. She ignored their comments because in her heart she knew this was the right thing to do. She felt a mixture of emotions but knew that her heart would never lead her astray. Her heart was the only thing she felt to be connected to God. So she went ahead and quieted her mind and listened to her soul. For days she ignored all the other birdies as they tainted her for having dreams of leaving the nest. This went on for about a week but she listened to heart and she listened to nature. Finally the day came when she took the leap. Thus she leaped and never looked back. She embarked on her journey of life. She pioneered leaving the nest that day and all little birdies grew to respect this birdie with courage. The moral of the story is have the courage to be yourself and listen to your heart.
Dear Summer,
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the story of Amelia Earheart's Journey across the Ocean.

I recieved this quote from my niece. I thought how observant of her to notice I wasn't well behaived...ooops. But alas I am who I am so the making history part is the thing I gotta live up to in order to continue on as her Heroine. i have to find that contribution for the world that is special to me and then just give with all my heart.
After all, that is all Mother Theresa did and look at her she's a freaking Saint. Point rested.
Sending love,
