Let your faith be bigger than your fear. Anon
I was shown a fledgling learning to fly. Its first efforts were very feeble. But as it used its wings more and more, they became stronger until it found the freedom of flight and was able to soar to great heights and fly great distances without any effort. I heard the words: Faith comes with practice. Live by faith until it become rocklike and unshakable, and find the true freedom of the spirit. (Eileen Caddy)
Faith is to believe in what you cannot see; the reward is to see what you believe. Saint Augustine.
For this eaglet, the urge to spread its wings and leave the nest becomes overwhelming and he takes a leap of faith. The wings connect, the muscles contract and he tastes the exhilaration of first flight.
For those who ask 'why?'
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible. Thomas Aquinas
