Birds on a Branch
What is it you yearn to do? Who is it you long to be? We all have a desire to soar. To be the beautiful, free creatures we were born to be. And yet we have so many doubts as to whether that person actually exists, that our fear paralyzes us and flight seems impossible.
But our wings crave air. And our souls seek freedom. So what is causing us to clutch firmly to the branch when we know down deep that we belong to the sky?
After all, a bird on a branch is only the potential of flight.
As a bird soars high
In the free holding of the wind,
Clear of the certainty of ground,
Opening the imagination of wings
Into the grace of emptiness
To fulfill new voyaging,
May your life awaken
To the call of its freedom.
– John O’Donohue
In this workshop, we will use the creative process to explore what flight might look like in our lives, and why we still might be gripping a branch in our palms.
