THORN BIRD

We all are in the process of dying, from the moment we are born. Whether long or short, may we sing our life song with a passion that stirs His heart – the one who chose us to be His own.

“There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out-carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the price of great pain… or so says the legend."

"The thorn bird with the thorn in it's breast, it follows an immutable law; it is driven but it knows only to impale itself and die singing. At the very instant the thorn enters there is no awareness in it of the dying to come; it simply sings and sings until there is not the life left to utter another note. But we, when we put the thorns in our breasts, we know. We understand. And still we do it. Still they do it…"

Does such kind of selflessness really exist . Can love be so pure and selfless." That one can die just to make there love alive?"
In today's life can one crush their ego and try to understand other? Can one sacrifice their ego for their love ones. "Love is not about holding things or people's, but about the happiness on our love one's."
