Well, my darling, it's all about understanding that there is a choice. Sometimes, one is able to choose a "higher level" view, get a different perch-pective on things and sometimes one is not. Sometimes one is able to change the focus and at other times, one cannot. But at least one understands that there are two choices! It's really up to you what you decide, Shona. When one is hurting or upset and involved in the "tiny details" of one's own story, you know what gets blocked? Shona 2 paused and looked tenderly at Shona. Love gets blocked, my Shona. The heart closes down. In fact, that's part of the reason for your restlessness and tension. It doesn't feel relaxing to be distant and disconnected, does it? Endearing and beautifully written, Free Fall will make you reflect on life, death, love, hurt, trust and the cages that imprison you, your comfort zones. Peppered with heart-warming insights and wisdom, Free Fall is sure to remain with you long after you have turned the last page. Shona, a parakeet with 'everything going for her', decides one fine day to leave her cozy cage to fly free in the blue skies. During her many adventures, she is befriended by a host of memorable characters including Shona 2, a parakeet who looks like her, talks like her (often even poses as her) but spouts strange, unfamiliar ideas and incites Shona to do foolhardy things. This delightful parable is about friendship, learning to trust, letting go and discovering the power of surrender. Shona's story will enthrall and charm you and may even touch closer home than you imagine - it could be your story!
