A special Connection between beings…

THIS POST IS FROM JAN 10

Having real quality time in the garden with the chickens im looking after here…they are so gorgeous. When I came to this housesit they were cooped up in a tiny pen with hardly any light & the cage is like 1metre by 1metre….outside this pen is the most wonderful garden…I immediately opened the gate, they needed to stretch & flap those wings….I decided if they flew out or got out somehow then …so be it (ofcourse i would try to find them!!) but anyway that’s what i concluded…

Anyway their first outing was real tense….they (like us humans) are conditioned to stay in their ‘box’ or comfort zone…..first they would ever so slowly poke there heads out the cage and look around, one was about to step out and got a fright & disappeared back to safety…sort of like us when we are challenged – instead of facing our fears and embracing change we sometimes tend to hide and ‘play it safe’…..anyways they eventually after a good 1/2hr they came out, very tense on high alert after a good while started to relax. Over the next couple of outings they were dust-bathing and really starting to get the hang of this ‘freedom’ thing and I was loving witnessing it…was tear worthy seriously. At first they were scared of me & would run for cover whenever i was near…

Its now been several weeks and the last couple of days get this…they have been FLYING over to me!! Its sooo beautiful, they land at my feet, I sit with them and eat my meals and they just hang around me! Its really quite surreal, i feel such a connection to these lovely beings….another confirmation why I am vegan, they are my friends, i love them i really do, i don’t want to eat them, i want to know them…and connect with them and I see it in them with me too, its a lovely feeling…

we don’t realise our potential till we leave our ‘box’ and really start ‘flying’ & living & feeling…..no more comfortable numbing, feeling is where the growth is…..
