Walk

I went and hung out with my dear friend this past weekend... she is the friend that can ask the hard questions and you answer them because you know she really wants to know what you have to say. It was an easy weekend and I needed the time, the talks.... On Sunday we went for a walk at a park by a river.... I know a little generic but the name didn't really matter to me. It was about hanging out with my friend and the conversation that we were in. I have been saying to her for months that I was bored in my life, that I wake up and do the same thing basically every day and I was looking for a change. The picture above, if you look closely shows a white bird. She looks at me and says, ginger, that bird does the same thing every day, eats, flies, swims.... and it appears happy. Can you be happy where you are now? I said but that bird is in his, she then says element. I say exactly, that bird is where he was created to be and doing what he was created to do. I asked, what if that bird was placed in the desert? He would long for the water and search for the water. I am the bird in the desert looking for my water. The next picture shows the bird flying.... I thought, true height in flight can only occur in the environment you were created to fly in... that bird was happy in his environment.

I have a lady that works for me, she is in her upper 40's but finally living her dream. She has told me that she is living what she longed for, for years.... but could not be happier. I told her about my bird story... she knew exactly what I was saying and that she found her river. I am looking for my river.... that day I had a glimpse because I was doing exactly what I needed. Hanging out with my dear friend, speaking my heart and my words were being accepted. The peace I felt walking that day was awesome and actually that day represented the best day I have had in a long time. I am still searching for my river and I wont stop looking and trust that I will find it one day. I want to have the purity of that white bird flying, happy for the normal of the day.
