anthony de mello - song of the bird lyrics
a man found an eagle’s egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. the eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. all his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. he scratched the earth for worms and insects. he clucked and cackled. and he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air
years p-ssed and the eagle grew very old. one day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. it glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings
the old eagle looked up in awe. “who’s that?” he asked. “that’s the eagle, the king of the birds,” said his neighbor.”he belongs to the sky. we belong to the earth – we’re chickens.”
so the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was
there are some that believe they are an eagle because they have golden eagle on their neck and can ride chicken as a horse
they could stay on the level of chicken for ever. karma
