Got a Squabble?

Squabble

Do it.  Go for it.  But mimic your quarrels as birds do.

If you’ll notice, most birds jam up against each other – show their stuff – make their meaning known – and then they separate.

They don’t linger on conflict.  They don’t pout.  They don’t stew over who-did-what-to-whom.

Birds make themselves and their viewpoints known.  Whether it’s territory or just a bad vibe, birds let off steam.

This is symbolic…to me, at least.

It speaks to me of giving our friends, family members, and partners a little bit of space.  Let those close to us flare up (in healthy ways), and then let that quarrel fly away.  I mean…really….is it necessary to hold onto this stuff anyway?  I’m betting 90% of our squabbles are just fluff.

Clash if you must.  But do as most birds do…fly out of the storm, and rise above.

It’s a brave heart who is willing to forget, forgive, and move to higher places.

Just thinkin’.
