Ever wonder if we are more like vultures than not? It occurred to me that we are actually just like them.
Over the weekend, our Church’s Cub Scout Pack spent the night at Brevard Zoo. There were many safety rules, because of the children, the darkness, the animals, etc.
In the morning, before breakfast, we were still confined to a certain area to remain safe. Across from our cabin, I spotted the vulture cage. There was a wild vulture standing on the cage pole, with other vultures just a few feet away on the inside.
Couldn’t help but have this moment of truth fly through my brain and capture it on this one-take You Tube video:
Any of this sound familiar?
Don’t think of myself as trapped. But I love to find the cage walls and find ways to break out.
You’re one of the lucky ones to not feel trapped. Well done.
Maybe the vulture on the pole is standing watch over and protecting his own kind…
Then again maybe its looking for an easy meal.
I’ve seen both kinds.
Skip, love the paradox.
Trying to figure it out is like trying to do ten pulls up. Or run a sub 20-minute 5k.
Or trying to correct high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Challenging.
