Fly away but come back soon

DC (hubby) is away in Delhi at the moment and how different it is this time with him going away than last time. Before, I was a little sparrow learning to fly in this new world I had been birthed into. I was timid and afraid to stretch my wings. This time I feel more like a wise old owl that has a been around a bit. Maybe not a mature owl but a teenage owl. One that is still learning but does not feel afraid to be alone and fly a little. One that does not mind making a few mistakes for the sake of learning.

I sent some of my little owlets off free today and although they have not yet returned I know that they too are spreading their wings and flying. Each flight brings more confidence and courage and I have to let my nest feel a little empty for a few hours and know that they are watched over by one that can watch over them far better than I can.

And although I feel at ease here alone, I will welcome back the Daddy owl and the owlets and with open arms and it will feel good when we are together again.
