Till few days back, 2 pigeons played around my window grill, was amazed to see the baby pigeon yesterday. It had popped up its nest and was sitting cosily clinging to my glass window, scared of the fresh daylight and the beautiful dawn. The mother soon came by, started to prick its body all over motivating it to fly. The baby bird refused to leave off the fear.
Today from early morning, the parrots who r my daily visitors, began to squeal sitting on the window grill , calling out for me for its feed. I was stuck as to how to open my windows. The baby pigeon still held itself close to my windows thereby not enabling me to open it. It's parents quickly flew from out of nowhere to protect it as I tried to guide it to the other side, so that I could quickly put the feed. It did move slowly but out of fear. Slowly but finally, it tried to fly alone for the first time and landed on my neighbours grill. A liberating moment for it, but still out of fear. I finally put the feed for the parrots and 5 of them joined me happily uplifting my morning mood further. 😳...Further, the baby pigeon came back to my window grill to cosy itself after its first short flight but this time may b with a little more confidence that a kind soul resided in this house...😉...FLY...it will...but after gaining a little more confidence in self and the world where it has to survive.
This whole experience of pigeons made me reflect on our Patiala Babes, Infact the reverse formula, how Minnie motivates Babi to fly and how Babi due to circumstances, gets out of her fear shell..and slowly attempting her brave moves. She will fly for sure...but it will take time for her wings to grow. The wings will develop with the confidence in self and teach her to face the circumstances more boldly.
Loved the analogy of the seed which has life but withered away everywhere. It still has life, wherever it lays, it does give life to a plant or flower or fruit or grows into trees. Life goes on. Nothing stops...it's WE who needs to instill our soul with courage and live life...,!
JEE LE ZARA!
