it is evening !


One of the interesting sights I look forward to in the evening is to watch birds fly back to their 'home'!

Many are in formation when they fly back and occasionally one comes across solitary birds high in the sky!

It is when we watch such sights we are reminded of our own journey! A journey that began in our mother's womb which continues till when our time to fly away has come !

It is the day that a boils celebrates when it returns home for the night. 

It was during the day it travelled long distances in search for food mate and at the end of the day a bird is ready to rest to recover for another day. 

The day and night offer tow functions to our lives. The day is to work and the night is to rest. It is for this reason, we are under obligation to keep the rhythm of the day and night. Work during the day and  wind down towards the evening for rest and sleep. 

At least for infants and toddlers we now know that neuronal growth and recovery would take place during the Rapid Eye Movement sleep. 

Home is a symbol of restful growth!
