6. Eagles prepare for training
The female and male eagle identifies a place very high on a cliff where no predators can reach to lay eggs.
The male picks thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then collects twigs which he lays in the intended nest.
Again he picks thorns and lays them on top of the twigs. He then picks soft grass to cover the thorns, and then files to pick up rugs to put on the grass. When this first layering is complete the male eagle then plucks his feathers to complete the nest.
The thorns on the outside of the nest protect it from possible intruders.
Both male and female eagles participate in raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts.
Principle:
The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes;
The preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both partners leads to success;
Being pricked by the thorns tells us that sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result in our not experiencing life, not progressing, and not learning at all.
The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest, and move on. We may not know it, but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns;
The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us.
