Welcome

The  Eagle  and  the  Rooster

The Eagle and the Rooster

The eagle flew high in the sky, meanwhile enjoying the beauty of the world and thought: "I fly above great plains and see valleys and mountains, seas and rivers, meadows and forests; I see countless animals and birds; I see cities and villages and how people live; but look, an ordinary farm rooster knows nothing but its own terrain, seeing only a few people and animals;

"I'll fly over to him and tell him about the great life in the world."

The eagle flew at the roof of the farm and saw the rooster bravely and happily going around, amidst his chickens and the eagle thought:

"So, he is satisfied with his faith and circumstances! But yet I will tell him of what I know."

And the eagle started telling about the beauty and richness of the world. At first the rooster listened with interest, but he did not understand anything. When the eagle saw that the rooster did not understand, he became sad and found it difficult to speak with the rooster; but the rooster, not understanding what the eagle was speaking about, became bored and found it hard to listen to the eagle.

But each of them remained satisfied with their own faith and their circumstance.

This also happens, when an educated person has a conversation with someone that is not educated, but even more so when a spiritual person speaks with someone that is not spiritual. The spiritual person is like the eagle, the other is like the rooster; The spiritual person considers day and night the law of The Lord and rises up high through prayers to God; But the spirit of the other is attached to the earth or is preoccupied with thoughts.

The spiritual person enjoys peace, but the soul of the person that is not spiritual remains empty and scattered. The spiritual man flies like an eagle in great heights and his soul feels God; and he sees the whole world, even if he prays in the dark of night;

While the man that is not spiritual, satisfies his vanity with worldly richness or enjoyments of the flesh. And when a spiritual person and his counterpart meet, they are both bored and contact is difficult.

Be like the eagle!

Eagle When She Flies


She's been there, God knows, she's been there
She has seen and done it all
She's a woman, she know how to
Dish it out or take it all
Her heart's as soft as feathers
Still she weathers stormy skies
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

A kaleidoscope of colors
You can toss her around and round
You can keep her in you vision
But you'll never keep her down
She's a lover, she's a mother
She's a friend and she's a wife
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

Gentle as the sweet magnolia
Strong as steel, her faith and pride
She's an everlasting shoulder
She's the leaning post of life
She hurts deep and when she weeps
She's just as fragile as a child
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies

She's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
Oh, bless her, Lord
She's an eagle when she flies
