Cleared For Take Off

Can you stretch your wings today? Maybe not “can you” but “will you”? Today may be the very best time to try that new thing you’ve been thinking about, to make that phone call, to write that letter. Today may be the very best time to stretch out your wings and fly. We were meant to fly, you know. Well, maybe not in the same way as this lovely water bird, but fly, yes. We are lifted by the holy wind, the sacred breeze, that which we call the Holy Spirit, the Empowering Breath of God. With that Spirit, you and I can rise above life and catch a glimpse of eternity. But, like the great white bird, we have to land. We have to come back to the “real world” of work, relationships and daily living. But here’s the good news: in the presence of that Holy Spirit, in those moments of spiritual refreshment: prayer, meditation, reflection, we are blessed with new insights and given new strength. Spiritual refreshment is found in spreading your wings and waiting for the Holy Breeze of God to lift you into a higher awareness of the Holy One. Your flight might be short or long; doesn’t matter. Is today the day?

You are cleared for take off.
