The Enclosure


A pretty canary had been living in a small cage for a long time, so it was used to taking short flights around its enclosure. One day it was transferred into a much wider cage but, strangely enough, the canary still kept taking short flights. It never realized that the bars were not there any more. Why? Evidently it kept accepting limits that did not exist. It did not try to (and, sadly, it never will) step “beyond”. Do YOU do the same? Do you accept limits that you - yourself - have created?  Do you resign yourself to live within the boundaries that others have put all around you? Do you ever wonder if these confines are illusory and/or if they can be overcome?
