Day 407 of new travel experiences giving smiles – feeling free in the water like the seagull
Have you ever spent time alone in the sea waters? And have you ever watched the birds spending time in the sea shore?
One of the books that really made a positive impact on my impressionable teenage mind nearly 4 decades ago was a book called Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. It was a cute story about how a seagull did not want to fight for food and survive just like the other birds on the shore, but instead freed himself from the group to be able to fly much higher that what it seemed he was capable of.
So in day 41 of our long trip I found myself spending time alone in the wonderful waters of the Cancun beach in Mexico. This was a chance for me to observe a group of birds on the pier. And I was wondering when I will rise higher in life, taking action that was much above than what I seemed to be capable of!
Suddenly one of the birds almost came up to me and the soared into the sky as if not bothered about the restriction of the rest of the group. This was the moment I was waiting for..I realised that the best time to break free from the crowd of self imposed restrictions and to do new bigger things in life is right now. I could feel it in those waters that after this long self refuelling break I was going to be very busy with work.
As usual I raised my hands above the water in my favourite ‘thank you God for everything’ pose with a smile on my face!
