Into the Wind

This little bird lives in a happy little bubble of a world where she spends most of her time with her family gliding pleasantly on the currents.
But every now and then a gale blows in and causes some tipsy-turvy swooping.


We don’t like the swooping.
It throws us off course and makes our tummies wobbly.
But we know that it is what it is and our reactions will play a big part in the path that the gale may blow us onto.
So we try not to get our feathers ruffled and to stay focused.


It’s hard and often times our enjoyments get set aside due to worry.
However if we are observant, there are little things that tell us it’s good for us to turn to our enjoyments during the windy times.
The little things that are there all the time no matter how the wind blows.


For this little bird, it’s the scent of the roses that remind me to sit back down to my art and art friends.
That my tummy will settle a bit and the gales won’t tossle me about as harshly.


It is then, that I can calmly wrap my wings around my family in hopes to protect them.
And as I do this today, I will send my heart out to those dear friends who are also flying into the winds.

Today my heart holds not only my family close, but also my peaceful friend, my friend in the moon and my dear colorful one too.

Love to you all.

This is such a beautiful post ALisa, calm and gentle and thought-provoking. The way you wrote about wrapping your wings around those you hold dear was so sweet and I could just imagine that gentle movement in my head. Thank you.
