The Soaring Eagle

Eagles soaring high in the sky suddeny drop to the water below it's talons encase a fish in the setting sun it's scales aglow the fish did not jump to the bird in the sky it stayed in the water while the bird soarded by If the bird hadn't dived to grab the fish then the fish would still be in the water for the fish will not go seek out the bird it will not willingly go out for slaughter the lesson between the bird and the fish is simple but I'll give you a clue go out and make your way in the world don't wait for the world to come to you.
