I watched this Barbet yesterday for a while, while stationed in one of its in between flight stations.
I was captivated by its repetitive four movements of the head with a vigilant look: right, left, backward and forward !
It looks like that the Barbet has had its training in management science!
I have had this thought lingering in my mind for a while as I have taken time to recollect on the personal and family experiences in 2018: all journey movements in life are to have this wholistic view of circumstances.
A shop keeper who had a good income generating provision shop, sensed after the demonetisation that he might have reduced business. So he decided to keep his shop closed on the week ends and enrolled for a course on cell phone technology and internet applications. Now he has added this to his business engagement. He understood the circumstances and acted prudently.
On Saturday, a school of considerable reputation sent me a message to discuss about seventy or so children in the primary classes, who have leaning related challenges! While listening to a key stake holder in the management, I understood how a review of the class room performances of the last three years helped them to identify another stream of children in a regular class room, who need a different learning support !
There is a fifth dimension that I am not sure whether the Barbet was in touch with! That is looking inward to receive insight and resonances.
Most of us become factual, managerial and SWOT driven!
Let me suggest that the Jesus of Nazareth introduced the dimension of insight: You shall receive the words that you are to speak when you are before an authority!
There is a contemplative dimension to our living: Hearing from within, knowing that God is resident in our hearts!
This sense of 'guidance' comes to us during periods of waiting in interior silence!
