17497 - Why the sparrow teaches us how to live

Days Left On Earth: 17497

Bede, known as the father of history, wrote:

“The sparrow, I say, flying in at one door and immediately out the another, whilst he is within, is safe from the wintry storm; but after a short space of fair weather, he immediately vanishes out of your sight, into the dark winter from which he had emerged. So this life of man appears for a short space, but of what went before, or what is to follow we are utterly ignorant.”

Maybe life is like the sparrow. We get a fleeting moment in the warmth to spread our wings.

So let’s seize the day and never waste it on a hangover.
