A baby bird stands on the edge of a nest all day.

(getting ready to get ready to get ready)

Then he hears a whistle, Come to me.

(you can do this)

How could he not fly toward that?

(don’t let fear hold you back from making a video, or writing a blog, or hosting a webinar)

Wings tear through the body’s robe

when the letter arrives

that says,

“You’ve flapped and fluttered against limits long enough.

You’ve been a bird without wings in a house without doors or windows.

Compassion builds a door.

Restlessness cuts a key.

Step off

proudly into sunlight,

not looking back.

Take sips of this pure wine being poured.

Don’t mind that you’ve been given a dirty cup.”

(stop using excuses that you’re not smart enough,

or don’t know enough yet or don’t have the

money or resources, just take a step forward)
