DAY JOURNEY
The Kaballah says that when we sleep our soul travels home. Here, the child is our soul that has never forgotten how to fly. There are moments in waking life too when we feel this way, connected to an inner joy. That part of us, not always accessed, is forever there despite whatever sadness or loss life may bring. The bird is the child’s playmate and guide. Cross-culturally, birds are psychopomps, guides for the soul.
