I heard him before I saw him…a belted kingfisher. He hovered above the stream for a moment and then dove headfirst in pursuit of a fish. Amazing…
Then, he briefly rested before moving down river. As I studied him, I had a thought.
This little bird approaches life without hesitation, no holding back. And though he may not always catch his prey, his enthusiasm never wanes.
Perhaps his presence was a reminder that life ongoingly offers adventures and experiences. Maybe it’s time to dive in and say yes.
And to include the possibility of failure as a natural part of the experience. Just like this brave little bird.
I smiled…thankful for the inspiration.
