Changing direction !






As I kept watching this Magpie Robin, I noticed it changing its directions a few times. I am not sure whether it was a response to a threat awareness because of a predator somewhere close by or was it searching for its food!

The body language was one of heightened awareness or alertness!

All of us in the department where I work have been looking at our direction since we began seven years ago. The direction we pursued so far did bring some benefits to parents and children who visit us. 

One reality that we face is paucity of professionals and short period of service they are able to offer to us! I remember all of of those who came to be part of the team and had to leave on account of their personal circumstances. Each person was excellent in her skills and commitment! Their leaving us to move on in their lives is a big loss to us ! They leave us with ur blessings and goodwill. 

All of them who have left us, located in different parts of India or overseas still keep in touch with us and inspire us to continue the good work of which they feel to be part of emotionally!

The Robin changed its direction a few times, but it stayed in touch with its environment!

Remember the people amidst whom we are planted to bear fruits! That is one way to let others know that the change in direction in our personal lives for inevitable reasons, is only incidental and relationships remain intact! 

Carry relationships forward even when we change directions or relocate ourselves or follow a new calling in our lives!
