It looks so easy when birds fly. With their regular, sometimes faster, sometimes slower wing movements, they keep themselves in the air and fly forward. We humans marvel at this - at least I do - and wonder how it is possible to stay in the air like this, to move forward despite their own weight. There are physical explanations, of course, and I think we can now understand and explain this very well. But it still fascinates me and has something mysterious about it - literally supernatural. This flying of birds requires wings and these in turn perform what we call a flap. If you think about it, it sounds violent: a flap of the wings. But that's exactly what's needed: like a push in the air to stay up and move forward. Sometimes clear action, clear words are needed for change and progress - rather than gentle peacefulness.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
