Every
morning I open a window to see the
weather outside.
I know in
advance weather will be the same as it
was yesterday, many days, months and years ago.
It is still
calm and comfortable.
There are
no movement of wind, no fog, no rain, no thunderstorm, no snow. …. Everything is constant and reliable.
In some
way I enjoy this unchangeable weather out of my window and I enjoy my life
which is as calm, reliable and comfortable as the weather is.
No
movements, no challenges….
I asked myself:
- Do I need
the surprises of the weather in my life? Am I ready to accept them?
- Probably
it is out of the question, - I replied to myself, looking at the endless sky.
Years
later…
One
particular day something happened. This day has added the new colors to the
weather around me.
I can’t
describe in details where and how it has happened. All I can remember is a
sudden fly of an Unusual Bird in the sky. That Bird was hovering very high
while I was walking in the picturesque place.
I could not see the color and size of that fantastic Bird, because it was so
high. I could hardly see its
delineation.
The Bird
had the sonorous voice which I could hear very clearly despite the
distance. I yearned it to fly a little
bit closer to me to enjoy its full grandeur but probably Bird was not going to
give me this pleasure.
I stopped
for a moment to watch the fly of this Bird. The fly was carefree and graceful.
Suddenly I
realized the fly of this Unknown Bird gives me harmony and joy. Moreover this
fly whispers me about the hope for the changing, challenges and maybe
adventures.
I was very
grateful to that spectacular day when I met that Unknown Bird.
Some days
later I came back to the place where I met
that Bird. My heart was doubtful
to meet it again. I return to that place
just to enjoy the peace and quiet of the weather once more and just to rise my
eyes up at the gorgeous but empty sky.
I don’t
deny I missed that Bird. I have been
waiting it for so long. I wanted its presence, just presence and nothing more.
It did not
come that day.
I returned
home devastated. I genuinely wish that amazing Bird was there.
Many days
passed by.
I have not
paid any visits to that place where I
had an unforgettable encounter.
I was
thinking to change the route of my walk next time.
As usually,
I opened a window to see the weather outside. There was no changing. The
weather was like a sleeping beauty in the kingdom.
My day was
about to start in its routine manner.
Suddenly the mystical movement of the air touched my hair:
-
What’s
going on? Is the weather changing? It’s unbelievable!
The movement of the air became closer and
stronger. Finally something sweep above my head at the speed of light. I have
heard the familiar voice. I was pleasantly surprised:
-
It
is you!? You came back! My, God I’m so happy! Stop for a moment, don’t fly so
quickly. Let me see you for a second,
please.
The Unknown Bird was flying very close to my
window, producing the wind of change.
I could not see the Bird because it
deliberately hid itself in the rays of sun and in the head of trees. But its
divine voice and presence were everything I needed. The Bird was so close to me
this time.
Since that day the weather has changed and my
life has changed as well.
Every time I open the window I know the Unknown Bird will be here in a second
as a feast for my eyes and soul.
The Unknown Bird likes to put its wing on my
hand but it is still invisible for me….
I don’t care about the appearance and origin of this Bird anymore. I don’t want to
frighten it away.
Unknown Bird is the moving spirit in my life
from now on.
