The grip !



Two birds, with two different ways of holding on to a cable. The first bird has its paws tightly around the cable and the other bird seems to rest the paws loosely on the cable!

It is a pointer to how we too hold on to things, tightly or loosely!

We can have only a loose hold on to our lives. Yesterday a freind sent me a mesage that his mother passed away following a heart attack. He was with her at 7am in the mornign and by evening 7 she was gone!

To hold on to what we possess tightly would also mean that we live largely for ourselves. To live freely by holding on to things, possessions, relatinships, etc. loosely would free us from living lives anxiously and stressfully. There is a loss and gian in our lives. Yet life is an opportuity to live fully and celebrantly!
