This morning I came across a balloon on a stick lying by the side of the footpath. No doubt someone was very upset to have lost it but as it struggled to take flight it was hampered by the stick which was holding it down, its weight just too much for it to become free.
As the breeze caught it, I couldn't help but imagine a dialogue whereby the balloon was trying to get away and the stick was keeping it grounded. How frustrating for both.
How often do you want to fly and something holds you back just like the stick and balloon? What would you have to do to shake the stick off in your particular situation and soar into the sky? Lots of things drain our energy and weigh heavy on us. What could you do with releasing yourself from and what would it take?
It would have been very easy for me to lift the balloon and free it from the stick so perhaps detaching yourself from the weight on you is not necessarily that difficult. Why not give it a try?
