WIND

“You are the wind beneath my wings” Bette Midler

Sometimes the wind is still. Sometimes the wind is beneath your wings. Sometimes the wind is at your back and sometimes it is in your face. Cold, bitter, strong, gale winds, right in your face. No matter what, just keep going. The sun will always shine brightest after the storm. This too shall pass and once again the winds will turn to stillness, beneath your wings or at your back. The eagle may soar majestically, effortlessly a mile in the sky above us, but, they weren't just magically put there. They flap their wings and work their way up . To stay there, while it may look easy, is difficult, often much harder work, especially when the winds kick up again, which they inevitably will, but, we must stay the course, keep moving, flapping our wings, relying on our training, practice and natural talents and strengths that brought us up to begin with. We may need to alter our path, but just keep at it. There is no stronger, brighter, more rewarding moment than rising up after the wind has knocked us down or held us back. We can and will overcome it.
