I watched this bird getting ready to fly upward to land on the wall that was three feet high! The readiness to fly is a preparation process to ensure safe landing!
I wonder whether this preparation process is thought about seriously as we make our transitions in life!
I met someone yesterday who is now getting ready to think about marriage. I liked the way he was taking small steps towards this.
I met a shop keeper who is getting ready to have a branch of his shop in another village. He has been on this process for a year now.
I heard an officer in the institution talk about the preparation for NABH accreditation for two years now.
I have a sense of launching into another day when I get up early in the morning. As I follow through the routine and rituals of the morning, I get a sense of getting ready for the morning. Sometimes I cut short this preparation process and such days do not have a good closure either.
Every day is a transition journey, moving from one stage of inward growth to another stage!
A child who came to visit yesterday, told me that he can cycle now, which he could not do about two months back. I felt delighted by his observation, 'I took time to learn to cycle'. Taking time to be ready is a sign of living with a direction.
Jesus of Nazareth had a question to his followers: 'Which of you would not count the cost before starting to build'?
The new year 2022 is at our threshold!
I have been making notes for fifteen days now to summarise the year 2021 and looking into the possible scenarios of 2022. During this process I realised how some things happened in 2021 when I was least ready.
To stay ready calls for attentiveness to the rhythm we want to choose to live by!
Life is well lived when we stay ready for transitions!
