A bird came into a heart and wondered,
Where have I come?
How can I find my way out?
How did I get here?
Heart was surprised as much.
As bird was looking for answers, flying all around,
heart beat faster and faster.
Heart was happy and told bird not to worry, things will be right.
Bird said: tell me about yourself!
What are you? What are you made of?
And your purpose?
Heart was thinking,
nobody ever asked such questions before,
Bird thought; such a wonderful creature but can’t fly;
Heart said: I move the world!
I have always been and will ever be.
No beginning no end, my source is life and my end is endless.
Bird was mystified and puzzled!
What’s the meaning of all this?
She had seen bird’s nest,
and how it could break with a strong wind.
She had migrated from place to place,
and had escaped the cold winter and the summer heat.
but never such permanent feelings, never such assurance.
............... little by little, bird started to feel the same signs herself. However;
happy but uneasy, deep feelings but unassured, relieved but expecting.
She thought; should I find a way out or stay? fly or settle?
Heart said: look at the blood that flows through me!
It goes everywhere, yet it comes home so that it can flow again.
It fights the elements and gets injured but here is the source of its comfort,
The source of new life again and again,
Though it can deny me, nevertheless I am.
Bird said: Can you describe yourself more? Can you say the magic word?
Heart said: No need! Know yourself and the love that speaks.
