The bird with the commanding view, stands on the rooftop, close to the earth and near to the heavens. None of it belongs to him, but all of it is provision for him to observe and access. His head erect, he switches views from one side to the next.  Another bird flies in and replaces this one. It's focus is on the roof shingles. It searches with intensity, never looking up. We are like these birds, sometimes so lost in the search and details that we miss the larger opportunities around us; then suddenly when reminded we lift our heads and see the endless opportunities awaiting.

What opportunity may be awaiting you, if you lift your head?
