I was driving along today, on a fairly busy country road, when I noticed a bird standing on the middle line. I could see that this little creature was being buffeted by the cars going past. The draft was moving its body. I couldn't figure out why this little bird wasn't flying away? Why was it remaining in this terribly dangerous situation? And then I saw why. Its little baby bird had been killed and was lying beside her on the road.
I felt very sad ..... I still feel very sad. It made me think and feel ..... and I was arguing with myself that this was just a bird! BUT .... that little bird was a "Mom". And .... that "Mom" was standing guard, and protecting... no matter what was the danger to herself. It was so powerful. I hope I never lose the lesson or the feeling of the lesson that was gifted to me today.
