But i like that bird, did it just rest on you from the wild? If so, that is more profound! BTW, my 7yr old nephew had a pair of 'bato-bato' or zebra dove in the past, he bought it. One day one of them got out, so after some contemplation and crying, he released the other to be with its mate waiting on the tree nearby. Days after that the pair returns daily on the ground near our house, and my mother throw feeds to them. After maybe 2 months like that they did not return on the ground, but we can hear their tweets on top of the tall trees. We dont know if they are them or others from the wild. We dont know also if we're happy for them or not, but we just content ourselves that maybe they eventually learned to feed themselves. From their attachment to us they are now free, actualizing themselves!!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264374689646259308.post-39477117013040590312011-04-19T15:27:26.659+08:002011-04-19T15:27:26.659+08:00Milka is rightfully right on!

Eventually it grew feathers and learned to fly on its own. Finally I fed it outdoors and afterwards it flew away but came back to me again. It was like that for several days until one day it flew away never to be seen again. I was sad yet happy at the same time.<br /><br />Maybe it means one can appreciate the value of something without holding on to it too tight.Solitude Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458281340276483361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264374689646259308.post-19932308938147397082011-04-19T05:02:25.564+08:002011-04-19T05:02:25.564+08:00I find that if I hold on to something, I lose crea...I find that if I hold on to something, I lose creativity and flow because I am so consumed with holding on to it. My focus is consumed with that one thing instead of being with the flow...and so I am unable to experience all the other wonderful things life has to offer. I love the quote, "If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was." by Richard Bach.

I guess that's what the quote means to me. If you hold on to something too tight you'll run the risk of losing it much sooner than if you hadn't. Life itself is impermenant and I guess that's why we should try to make the most of each moment and not cling too tightly to the past or the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264374689646259308.post-9652262274942276592011-04-18T23:19:31.860+08:002011-04-18T23:19:31.860+08:00True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize ho...True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.....SocratesAutumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264374689646259308.post-62719436120494154682011-04-18T21:10:41.411+08:002011-04-18T21:10:41.411+08:00I think we tend to hold on to things in life, not ...I think we tend to hold on to things in life, not knowing when to let go. The little bird clung as long as it needed to, but when it was ready, it flew away. In that little bird lies the wisdome that we humans seek. The burdens that we carry with us weigh us down and some times we just need to let things fly way.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264374689646259308.post-28551036756879171432011-04-18T20:54:37.795+08:002011-04-18T20:54:37.795+08:00Ale ładne maleństwo.
