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
Learn to fly
If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves. Einstein
This owl determinedly jumps flapping his wings to free itself from the bounds of gravity. In order to fly you need resistance. Jack Kornfield but Once you learn to fly you never fear the fall. anon. This week I invite you to stretch your wings, look up and fly like an eagle. Go, do and be where you have never been before,
We know what we are, but know not what we may be. William Shakespeare
