When
a Songbird is in flight their wings are unfurled only part of the
time. In fact, if you look closely, you will see that frequently
their wings are tucked up close to their bodies. In these moments
they are falling through the Air, just as I would.
Watching
this gets me thinking about faith. Songbird doesn't know that her
wings will unfurl in time to send her back up into the sky.
Similarly, I don't know that my leg will step out in front of me as I
am walking. Rather than worry that my foot won't be there to catch me
as I lean forward, I continue to trust that whatever happens as I
follow along my path will create further possibilities. I am grateful
that Songbird doesn't let fear of what might happen get in the way of
her falling then flying forward.
