I was walking around the conservation park today and was feeling a little unsettled with all the current changes ive been going through. As always I am able to connect and feel more clarity each time I am amongst nature. This time my clarity came through a huge flock of birds flying above me, making a huge noise. I noticed that there were many ‘perceived’ separate groups flying amongst the flock and that some were in absolute synchronous harmony while other groups within the flock would adjust themselves and flow out of synch. Another thing I observed is that as one bird would ‘change’ and flow out of sync, it would disrupt the others in the group and this would initiate a temporary disruption until they found there ‘new’ place, and this was happening throughout the entire flock! So, there was this constant synchronisation and constant disruption, which rippled out to affect each bird!
Throughout these happenings there was a sense of ease and knowingness within the flock. And I feel that this is because they were aware that they were all flying in the same direction as one unit (while constantly being in a state of flux). I was immediately able to see how this related to all of us in life, where we all have a time where we flow and harmonize with people or situations, and at some stage one person may change or circumstances change and this results in a ‘flowing out of synch’. This creates a ripple affect and impacts everyone else. The important reminder for us humans though, is that we are all heading in the same direction and knowing this can ease the unsettled feelings that can accompany change and disruption.
