THE EAGLE & THE WREN | AN T-IOLAIR & AN DREATHAN-DONN
Once, long ago, all the birds decided that to elect a king, a competition would be held to see which bird could fly the highest. The wren rides in the feathers of the soaring eagle before bursting out above to win – a tale of little outwitting big, the seemingly weaker overcoming the mighty. It is not the powerful eagle that rules all birds but the wren.
All of us can experience unseen triumphs, little victories and painful losses, and understand that no matter who we are, we may be both the eagle and the wren. We all have inherent strength and intelligence.
The greatest of songs can spill from the tiny voice of the wren, even in the harshest winter conditions. When other birds have fallen silent, we may still hear the wren. We just have to listen.
‘Where art thou, wren?’ said the eagle.
‘I am here, above thee,’ said the wren.
‘Càit a bheil thu, dhreathain-duinn?’ ars an iolair.
‘Tha mis’ an seo, os do chionn,’ ars an dreathan-donn.
