Two little birds in the Jonkor Street Market in Melaka
While walking along the night market street in Melaka, I spotted these two birds peacefully perched on their cage door. When people drew close to look at them, they didn’t flap their wings and fly off. They just stayed. The owners later revealed that they were too young to fly. They still hadn’t developed the wing power to flap and lift off.
It’s one thing to still be anatomically ill-equipped to do what you’re designed to do. But sometimes, perhaps because of years of conditioned thinking, we can be like these birds who feel we can’t fly or do what we’re meant to do for so many other reasons — or excuses.
Are you too young to fly…or maybe just a little nervous about flapping your wings towards your heart’s desires? Just a little bird wisdom to think about on a Tuesday morning.
