What do you need
to fly a kite?
Does a kite not need
to be made up of
material,
with a structure,
flexible enough
to catch the wind,
sturdy enough
to fly where the
wind blows,
do kites not come
in all shapes
and sizes,
depending upon
the preferences
of who is flying
the kite?
And does there not
need
to be an anchor
on the ground,
for does the kite
not need resistance
to catch the swirling
breeze,
is there not a cooperative
effort –
one that grounds
and one that flies,
seemingly opposite forces
that combine
to fly a kite?
And as you on the ground,
do you not feel how
the kite can fly,
do you not feel
through the string,
each tug and pull
of the wind,
are there not forces
blowing,
that you cannot see,
but you can sense,
as if part of you
is flying
way up high
along with the kite?
And in this cooperative
effort,
with you the human
and with your soul,
do you not work together,
forces combining
so you may soar,
the earth may act
like your anchor,
giving you stability,
to ground,
but does not your
heart fill with Joy,
when your spirit
is free
to fly around?
Do you not seek to
find the balance,
like when flying a
perfect kite,
part of you stable
and grounded,
the other part –
flying free,
let the child
within your heart,
bring out the Joy
so you may play –
can you let out
even more string,
may you fly like
a kite today?
You Are the essence
of Earth and Sky.
Soar with Love.
Spread your wings
and fly.
