When a bird soars high in the sky
What is it’s connection to the earth?
Is it aware of the height it is at?
Does it perceive the expanse around?
Does it perceive all the freedom surround?
Does it simply take flight in the light
All unaware of the ground below in sight?
Humans that dream of taking flight
Of what is called as success in their intention
When they do take flight in their realm
How aware and connected do they stay
To the ones they left behind in the day?
Do they become one with the height?
Not knowing any difference slight
It is the ones watching them who measure
The distance and the scale of the flight
Is this how detachment sets in
For the ones taking flight?
This is very deep insight Pragal only the one who has touched that height can write it…

I love reading your wise and sweet lines Pragal, it’s just that my reader don’t show all the posts. So I have to manually select my favorite blogs and go there to see the new posts. This delays to read the latest posts by them.

I so appreciate you taking the effort Meenakshi. WP has strange ways sometimes …Just a suggestion that came to me …maybe try unfollow and then follow again …
Thank you always.

So beautiful, Pragalbha. A thought that we often forget. The perception of the people that is left behind when success takes us to great heights.
