Are you Awake?

There was a small forest that had a highway go through it. This highway, like most highways, had a set of cables that travelled along side its clearing and transported electricity. There were many different bird species that lived in this forest that gathered everyday to socialise in this clearing to look for food and gather on these cables.

Our story is about a little yellow bird that lived very near to the edge of this forest. The little yellow bird would wake up in the morning, just as the sun was breaking the horizon. As it let the nest, it set a path straight for its favourite perch on the cable along the highway.

The little yellow bird would arrive at the cable and the first thing that it would do was look for any pool of water. As it looks around, it sees a small pool and swoops down to the water and immediately starts to have some to drink. Then it has a refreshing little bath as it fluffs its feathers and then heads straight back to its perch.

The little yellow bird’s tummy started to grumble and groan as it realised that it was hungry. So, with its sharp eye, it looked around and saw an insect buzzing around in the distance and when it looked down saw a little worm wriggling around that was much closer than the insect. So, the little yellow bird swooped down and caught the wriggling worm and flew straight back to its perch and swallowed the worm.

So, the little yellow bird has had something to drink, has had a bath and has just had a meal, what do you think happens next. The call of nature started talking to the little yellow bird and as soon as it felt the time was right, it dropped shit down. Of course, the little yellow bird was hoping to bring good luck to any human who had it land on them. All birds wish us well when they poop.

After that was done, the little yellow bird looked to the left and saw the little blue birds gathered together and talking. Then it looked to the right and saw the little red birds gathered together and talking. Then it saw just on the other side of the road, all the other little yellow birds gathered together. So off it went and joined the other little yellow birds. They talked and chirped and sang all day long. Sometimes they would gather together and warn the other little different coloured birds to not come so close and then they would carry on with their day.

By the time it got to the end of the day, our little yellow bird would greet all its friends and then fly off to its nest that was close to the edge of the forest. It would settle in for the night and go to sleep.

What do you think would happen the very next day?

Same thing, right?

Do you think that while the little yellow bird was going about its day to day activities, on the electrical cable, that the little yellow bird, at any point, realised how much power was under its feet?

You are so incredibly close to more than what is in your day to day activities.

There is a whole new world that awaits you when you are open to the possibility.

Are you the little yellow bird or are you more?
