What’s a Trapped Bird Got to Do with Retirng at Lake Chapala Ajijic. Mexico?

Well, by now I guess Spring has more than likely sprung where you live. It’s pretty much springtime all year long here at Lake Chapala Ajijic. Do, you have screens on all your windows? What a crazy question, right? Well all of my windows don’t, which usually is not a big deal (like I said it’s almost always spring like weather here) and the mosquitoes are rare now until the rains come in the summer… and then, they’re not a problem really either . I just don’t open windows at night that aren’t screened. But, sometimes that open window, without meaning to traps a local feathered friend. We have lots of feathered friends here in Chapala Haciendas since we have so many trees and this time of the year they delight in coming for a “shower bath” in the morning when our gardener has the sprinkler on. I remember one spring day a year or so ago when one of our bird friends flew inside the house through the aforesaid open window, and panicked shortly after realizing its mistake. She flew in and up and then tried to fly out, but there was always a closed window or a window with a screen in the way. Right after the bird panicked my wife panicked. At first I couldn’t figure out how to help her or the bird. I couldn’t grab the bird and guide it in the right direction. And, of course I was powerless to explain how to tell her to escape. I couldn’t help her to understand that she was okay, that I was going to try and make it better, that I wouldn’t hurt her. The worst part was watching this poor creature make the same mistake over and over and over and over  again. I felt like saying, “It’s so easy! Just fly down to where the window is actually open.” But, of course I’m still working on Spanish let alone “bird talk”. The bird’s eyes were full of fear and I thought about the times when  I was fearful, felt trapped, and could not see a clear path of just where to go with my life. But, with the good Lord’s help, family and friends too, I managed to find my way out of the fog  and through my own open window to Lake Chapala Ajijic, Mexico. And, I’ve been blessed to help many others to see their open window, to find a way out of the fog of uncertainty, when they needed some help.
