The Story of the Eagle


someone shared this story about the eagle with me.

when a female eagle looks for her life partner,
she will perch herself high with a stick in her mouth.
then she will take flight and drops the stick and any male eagles
who are interested in her will catch the stick that she drops.

she will then fly up higher and do the same sequence again.
it is to see if the same male will dive in to pick up the stick again.

higher she flies.... and she drops d stick. and he catches it....
she will keep flying higher to repeat the test til she can go no higher.
d male who doesnt give up will be the life partner whom she picks.


when the kids r ready to take flight, they will ride on their mother's
back and take to the open skies for practical training.
at some pt, d mother will angle and drop them off her back.

the kids will then attempt to fly. and once they start to drop,
the dad will dive in and scoop all the little ones onto his back.
and they will keep repeating the cycle to learn to fly.


tat's d quality d female was looking for in her life partner.
someone she can depend on to rescue her young when they fall.
someone who will not just do it once but will always be d pillar for her.




today,
someone will become a pillar for a new life that arrived.
today,
someone lost a pillar that will no longer be around.


a whirlpool of thoughts raced within me d whole day.
was very excited when slack's baby gal arrived.
he's like a younger bro to me now. felt really happy for him.

within an hr, another life hung on the balance.
within an hr, that life has ended.
ummmM. though it wasnt sudden. it blew me off somehow.
i guess d impact was felt when you saw those events unfolded out.


it's life. nobody's spared from such emotions.
i never wanna experience it for as long as i can hold out.
and it reaffirms d fact that nothing shd wait til d next time.



and i wondered if i have done enough for 某人 ....
