While walking on a farm The Old Lady kept a sharp eye out for hawks. She has seen them there before, but her hours of searching were to no avail.

Then she rode into the nearby town where THERE WAS A HAWK sitting on top of a sign, not ten feet from the side of the street. It fixed a calm but steely gaze on the approaching vehicle. When the car stopped directly in front of it, the hawk remained standing still on its perch looking almost military in its bearing.

Finally it flew off.

“Another great lesson for me,” marveled The Old Lady. “I tried and tried to make something happen, but it was only when I let go of trying that what I sought found me.”

LISTEN to The Old Lady!
