Hatching.....

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird:

 it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.

We are like eggs at present.

And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg.

We must be hatched or go bad.”

CS Lewis

It is comfortable you know,

all balled up and warm, 

 within the confines of our own comfortable boundaries,

our own little home,

our own little space,

not bothered by anyone,

anything,

just incubating over time and space

ready to hatch out, break forth, spread our wings,

but

 fear keeps 

us 

confined.

 true,

balled up inside our space,

we feel safe,

guarded,

at ease,

but

confined there

even a bit uncomfortable at time,

legs need to stretch 

and

we never learn to spread our wings,

their muscles twitch with anticipation just waiting for the moment

when 

we will safe enough just to stretch,

strong enough to try and flap them a bit,

anticipate

the first full stretch

and feeling the exhilaration of the first lift off....

but

holed up,

hunkered down inside an egg,

safe,

none of that happens.

As we begin our week,

may we all 

muster up a bit of courage,

peck our way out of our protective encasing

given to us,

may we experience the light flood into the darkness,

let our eyes get used to it,

let the warmth dry our wet newly exposed feathers,

let our muscles take over

spread our wings

and

go out into the world

as

a 

fully hatched individual.

Go on,

spread your wings......

Happy Monday

and

Hugs,

Go on.....fly...
