Most people are so afraid to die that, through their efforts to avoid death, they never really live.

Reflections of Life

Another one of my animal stories.

This time, I bought myself a canary....and, bingo, what a beauty it has turned out to be. I never dreamed that such a small creature could turn out such melody! And once it starts going, there's no end to it. Sunrise till sunset.

Satisfied with myself, I was admiring it and saying what a real bargain it had been. Then I started musing. How on earth does it manage such a feat? Cooped up in that cage, one-foot-square, and still manages to roll out a happy tune! It's incredible.

I couldn't help reflecting on my life. How often have I felt trapped? Feeling as if I just wanted to run away from everything. And I felt "down", sad, unhappy.

What was that bird saying to me? Maybe that (like the recent Italian film) life is beautiful? Perhaps. I believe that it was also a messenger from God saying to me that life is beautiful no matter what your circumstances are. It all depends upon your outlook. Upon the glasses through which you are peering. And not only that, but it was also telling me that even when you may appear beaten, caged in, whatever, you can still sing a song of praise and bring joy to those around you.
