I recently came across a photo of myself with a bird flying across the sky, taken at the Gate of Heaven in Bali. It immediately brought me back to the birds in El Nido.
There’s a certain stillness you notice when you watch birds in El Nido. You still hear them chirp, there’s no silence there, yet the sound feels soothing rather than intrusive. Their presence wastes nothing, especially when they hop onto my window straight from the wilderness. They arrive unannounced yet unmistakably welcome, sitting there and chirping as if in conversation with me.
I don’t understand what they’re saying or what occupies their minds, but their energy says it all. No hidden agenda. Maybe only a message that reveals itself over time.
It speaks of presence, intention, and movement that needs no explanation. Energy doesn’t need words. What arrives in alignment doesn’t need to perform. And alignment here isn’t strategy.
So, leave the tactics and strategic moves at the office, your personal life doesn’t need to be overthought.
