Winged Formation
Birds Fly In A V
As they swoop, drift, and glide, inscribing magnificent patterns across the
sky, birds are serene displays of grace and beauty. Long a source of
inspiration, birds can be messengers from the spirit realm, or a symbol of the
human soul, as they cast off their earthly mooring and soar heavenward. An
upturned wing, a graceful flutter, all so effortless and free... More
magnificent still is the inspiring sight of birds migrating, progressing
steadily across the horizon in a solid V formation that is a singular pattern
too unique to be mere chance.
Pushing steadily forward, this aerodynamic V reduces air resistance for the
whole flock. With wings moving in harmony, the feathered group continues its
course across the sky, covering more ground together in community than as
individuals. When the bird at the front gets tired, she will move to the rear
of the formation where the wind drag is lowest, and a more rested bird can take
her place.
By learning from the example of our winged guides, all of us can feel empowered
to take on daring challenges as we chart adventurous courses. Feel the strength
of others moving alongside you, as their presence lends power to your wings
during this journey across the sky of life. When buffeted by unexpected gusts,
we can choose to find refuge in the loving shelter of friends and family. We
may even marvel as an otherwise difficult day passes by like a swift wind, as a
kindred spirit charts a way for us through the clouds and rain ahead. If your
wings begin to ache on your journey, look around for somebody else to fly at
the front for a while. All of us move faster when we move together. Let your
ego drop earthwards as we all soar ever higher.
Stay Home, Stay Safe
