When the mother bird wakes in the morning … I love birds.
Saint Francis and I – true bird lovers.
When a mother bird wakes in the morning even before the sun comes out, she has such anticipation
and joy for the day.
She doesn’t even wait for the sun to come up.
She wakes up and starts singing right away.
She doesn’t worry about where the worm or the food or the insect is going to come from.
She starts singing the joys of the day – singing, looking at her nest with her young ones, singing
about enjoying life with them.
She doesn’t worry about all the things that need to be done that day.
She spreads her wings, and even before the young ones have woken up, she flies out.
She gets into a stream of consciousness and the wind that bring her to the food, to the
breakfast for the young ones and then for her.
And it is just there.
And there are days when it’s not just there and she still keeps singing, because for her,
for this mother bird to just experience life, to open her wings and soar upon the Earth,
is joy enough, even if it should go away in the next moment.
Generally, she returns back to her nest with the food in beak for the young ones, and continues
her singing throughout the day and into the night.
Such is the life of a bird.
No fear.
The bird works with its intuition and its bird consciousness and the Earth consciousness
to supply it with all it needs.
When you wake up – when other humans wake up – the first thing they do is dread.
Before they get out of bed, before they take that first deep and conscious breath, they
dread the day ahead.
They dread what faces them and their bills and their job and their relationship.
They dread and fear their health.
Instead of waking up with a song and a breath, they wake up struggling with the day.
And it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can choose which world you live in.
The world where the storms are going to tear apart the Earth, decimate the crops?
Oh, and when the crops start changing, it’ll bring in a new type of insect or parasite.
It’ll bring in new types of plant diseases.
It could look awful – if you choose that world to live in.
Or when you wake up in the morning, you could take that deep breath.
Sing the song of joy that you’re here in a physical body on Earth.
Sing the song of life, even if life should end later that day.
It doesn’t matter.
That was the experience of being here on Earth.
Sing the song of having a physical body in which to feel Earth and life.
Sing the song of relationships, good and bad, because they all gave you something.
So the question I ask each and every one of you is which world do you choose to live in?
The world of chaos and drama and storms?
Or do you choose to live in the world of abundance and opportunity and joy, no matter what storms
are going on around you?
Which world do you choose to live in?
Now, I’m going to make a very important point here.
What I’m talking about is not positive thinking.
I’m not talking about forcing yourself to think positive.
That doesn’t work, because it’s not genuine and authentic.
What I’m talking about here is making a conscious choice – which world do you want
to live in.
Can you take that deep breath before you get out of bed, in joy for the day no matter what
it holds?
Can you hum a song to yourself?
Can you open up and connect with the angelic beings who are all around you?
Can you have such joy in your life that you give up the struggle, that you allow abundance
in?
Can you bring your dreams into your reality, your soul into your life?
Can you allow yourself to be part of your soul as well?
Which world do you choose to live in this year?
And so it is.
