There is a bird which frequents a stop into my camp site, gentle small and curious. They hop in through the entrance, gleefully chirping and picking up any scraps to be found from the droppings of cereal that the mice haven't taken for their own.
This bird amazed me when it first hopped in and continues to treat me with it's kind curiosities from time to time in my reflections at the most welcomed times.
It is these small moments, the moments with the birds that bring about a sense that there is far more to the workings of life, living, becoming, being than a single mind could ever conceive upon in it's wildest wonders.
Had you told me years before now my journey, my destination to this point, I don't know if I could accept the lot of it all. It seems so simple, yet immense in it's understanding. Inner, outer, all. Beautiful.
Little birds.
I have learned to trust the little birds, to stop fearing the unknown shadows that are cast, to fly free, at last, knowing that whatever comes is meant to enliven a soul that yearns to learn, to grow, to become.
I rejoice in my health, most of all, finding that I have been able to overcome so much more when I let go of what was expected of me and instead made the expectation my own to own and redeem.
Climbing the hill to go home in the reaches of Forest Park has at times been trying, but also given me an amazing healthy body to rejoice in.
In my flights recently on the bicycle, I recently did over 100 miles this last week, with a total of 1,200 miles since March 18th of this year on the
biketown bikes largely to explore new places in the reaches the greater Portland area including Powell Butte and Sauvie Island.
As I am in wonder of all these things, a gratitude overcomes me for this moment, this time, this point in my life.
Indeed, there is much uncertainty, more chaos in the world than I have ever known.
Yet, as I follow the lead of the little bird, flying, flowing freely upon this journey and finding I am not alone in this, no matter how little in comparison to the vastness of it all.
The bicycle helps me realize this and has become my wings to explore self, others and the flow of it all.
How do you take flight in your life?
