As colder weather begins to set in I am reminded that some of the birds will need to leave us for a short time.  As I watch them as I always have I am utterly amazed by their passion to remain together.  The colder the weather gets the bigger the flock becomes, and even then the passion to stay together remains.

As I watch this beautiful dance in the sky, I find myself thinking how friendships and families can take note from such passion. Being mindful of each other in that we may live differently, think differently, look differently, love differently or parent differently……our friendships and families can dance beautifully too when we are passionate to remain together.
