Have you ever watched a kite? They soar in the stratosphere – free, unencumbered, dancing and twirling in the wind.
However, kites don’t fly all by themselves. They need help.
Who is on the other end of the string?
A pilot. A solid anchor connected to the earth.
If the kite didn’t have the anchor, it wouldn’t be able to fly well. It would drift off and eventually crash on the ground.
Here’s my analogy:
·Dreams are like kites.
They soar up high and dance in the wind. They are light and free.
·Dreams need anchors.
They must have ground control; foundations, structures, and values from which they are formed and actualized. Without these, the dreams are but vapor and wouldn’t be able to sustain themselves…eventually drifting off.
As much as we need to soar, we also need to be grounded. This tension works together to create successful action.
Ray Bethell, a resident of Vancouver, B C, is one of the most famous kite flyers in the world. He controls three kites in a ballet set to “The Flower Duet”
