  Close to the sun in lonely lands,
  Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

  He watches from his mountain walls,
  And like a thunderbolt he falls.

• From a distance the world looks blue and green,
  and the snow-capped mountains white.
  From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
  and the eagle takes to flight.
  From a distance, there is harmony,
  and it echoes through the land.
  It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
  it's the voice of every man

  Bette Midler

• The mother eagle teaches her little ones to fly by making their nest so uncomfortable that they are forced to leave it and commit themselves to the unknown world of air outside. And just so does our God to us. He stirs up our comfortable nests, and pushes us over the edge of them, and we are forced to use our wings to save ourselves from fatal falling. Read your trials in this light, and see if you cannot begin to get a glimpse of their meaning. Your wings are being developed.
