The freedom of being in one's own element


Up, Up and Away!

I work on the ground floor of an old mansion house. This morning, when going upstairs to the kitchen to make some coffee, I heard some flapping sounds in one of the rooms, which is currently disused whilst repairs are going on in the ceiling

Somehow, a swallow had got into the room, and fallen into a large box and was flapping around. Covering the box over, I carried the whole thing to an open window, and tipped it on its side into the open air.

Thankfully, the bird was unharmed and swooped off into the air, displaying its marvellous acrobatic abilities!

It just struck me how important it is for any of us to 'fly' we really need to be in the 'element' or ecology that supports our excellence....and definitely need to get out of whatever box crimps our freedom !!
