When a little bird first leaves its nest
.. its first efforts at flying are not so much about where it wants
to go or what it wants to see more just about discovering what happens when it can flap
its wings and how to deal with the wind when it blows,
etc.. Alfons this is where you were a while back in your teenage times.
Later on, when this bird has learned to
use and trust
its wings, it becomes more of an issue to consider where it
wants to go the directions it decides to take -- and the wonderful
goals these wings will help it reach. Thats
where you are in life now Alfons That is why I have thought of of you
when I heard this
country song that I would like you to listen to now
"Follow your arrow where ever it
points". This is not the same thing as 'go where ever the wind
blows' and not the same thing as 'follow the whims and fancies of
the day'.
In all the little visits that I have with
you in the course of the ordinary days we have spent together, I
have become quite convinced (and proud of ) the existance of an
honorable and worthy moral compass that has developed in the
principles of your life quite independant of us as your parents. My hope
is just that you will trust it, and follow this arrow throughout the
many foggy stretches of lifes road 'whereever it points'.
Listen to this song.
Your dad
