Pearls of Wisdom

THE BUZZARD:

If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet
and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its
ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The
reason is that a buzzard

always begins a flight from the ground with a run of
10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it
will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner
for life in a small jail with no top.

THE BAT:

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a
remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take
off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or
flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly
and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight
elevation from which it can throw itself into the air.
Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

THE BUMBLEBEE:

A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will
be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never
sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in
trying to find some way out through the sides near
the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists,
until it completely destroys itself.

PEOPLE:

In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and
the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our
problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we
have to do is look up!

Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith
looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply,
speak kindly.
