The Bat, the Buzzard, and the Bumble Bee

The BUZZARD

 

If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet but that 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 remarkably 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.

The 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! That's the answer,
The escape route& The solution to any problem!  

Just look up!

Sorrow looks back,
Worry looks around,
But
Faith looks up!

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly, trust youself and, have courage
and determination
