Soaring hope

Hey there,

When I look into the sky and see a bird, I feel hopeful. 

'The birds can have something we can never have. But merely by existing - by flying before us - they add to the daily joys of existence. Birds are about hope.' 

For humans, flying is a dream that we can only try to achieve, but never will (unless you're on an aeroplane). Birds give us hope because with flight they can go wherever they please and glide through the sky.

I feel like hope is one of the most important feelings to have, after happiness of course. To be hopeful, is seeing the positive in the negative. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I envy the birds, they are so beautiful, the way the glide and soar without a worry in the world.  The way they can feel freedom in every flight they take. Freedom. Something we all crave. The birds have it in a way we might not ever have. But we can hope to be as free as them, going where the wind leads. 

But 'in freedom, most people find sin'- the fault in our stars. This makes freedom dangerous, it makes it treacherous. But something about breaking the rules makes us feel alive. We do things we wouldn't usually do, and act on impulse, we don't think about the consequences. Which makes freedom amazing. 

So, be hopeful, be optimistic, be free. Even if it does mean breaking a few rules. 

Beautiful Dreamer
