August 12, 2010 When a bird hits the window, thump, and silently falls onto the grass a wealth of life lessons emerged. Yesterday morning, we heard the thud upon a family room window. The dogs went crazy barking at the same spot. I looked outside to see a tiny bird with it's wings askew, sprawled out in an unnatural position. After my kids remained unmoved to help, I carefully exited by my front door, so as to keep my dogs at bay. I grabbed a stick, in case poking this creature would somehow help, and made my way around back. By this time, little bird had righted himself and his wings were nicely in place. His eyes were open and busy. I began using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and tapping on myself at the 10 tapping points. I was speaking to little bird letting him know how dizzy he must feel, how confused he is right now. I acknowledged his dismay. I also looked at my watch, as I was wondering how long I'd be out here (selfish). Then I began tapping with a more positive influence, after I had duly acknowledged little bird's stress. Suddenly, he flapped and flew onto a nearby pine. I was amazed. This little guy, grey in color with an amazing yellow belly with a zig zag design of grey on top, had made it! I ran to the side door and pleaded with my daughter to let me in - quickly! I wanted to grab my camera and capture little bird's beauty. I got the camera, turned it on inside so as not to startle little bird. I snuck by the tree and to my surprise, he was waiting there for me. I took 2 photos, one zoomed in extra close. Here it is, but, if you want more on the life lessons learned from little bird, check out my article at http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carla_Hugo
