There he was, perched high in a tree…a bald eagle. Such a magnificent being, destined for greatness as the most powerful of the birds of prey.
And as I watched him, I had a wondering. What is greatness? Is it about being the best? Or accomplishing laudable goals? Or achieving fame and fortune?
Or is it something very different? I suspect that true greatness originates in the heart… a heart that holds a deep desire for the best and highest good for all beings.
And human greatness appears as quiet acts of kindness and love and compassion and generosity of spirit, with no need for recognition or thanks or fame or fortune.
Greatness…I suspect it’s what we’re designed for.
Something to ponder…inspired by a beautiful bird.
