Once there was a king who received a gift of
two magnificent falcons ( birds ). They were peregrine falcons, the most
beautiful birds he had ever seen. He gave the precious birds to his head
falconer to be trained.
Months passed, and one day the head falconer
informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically,
soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the
day it had arrived.
The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all
the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly.
He presented the task to the member of his
court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird
had still not moved from its perch.
Having tried everything else, the king thought
to himself, “May be I need someone more familiar with the countryside to
understand the nature of this problem.” So he cried out to his court, “Go and
get a farmer.”
In the morning, the king was thrilled to see the
falcon soaring high above the palace gardens. He said to his court, “Bring me
the doer of this miracle.”
The court quickly located the farmer, who came
and stood before the king. The king asked him, “How did you make the falcon
fly?”
With his head bowed, the farmer said to the
king, “It was very easy, your highness. I simply cut the branch where the bird
was sitting.”
We are all made to fly — to realize our
incredible potential as human beings. But at times we sit on our branches,
clinging to the things that are familiar to us. The possibilities are endless,
but for most of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the
comfortable, and the mundane. So for the most part, our lives are mediocre
instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling. Let us learn to destroy the
branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight!
