Birds Flying in the Sky

Birds flying in the sky create different impression to different people. In many culture,birds customarily represented epiphanies of gods, spirits or messenger of divine beings, announcing new situations or serving as guides. In modern society, this scenario would definitely represent freedom. As for me, seeing birds flying in the sky often creates a mix of emotions and carry me deeper into my thoughts.

I recognized myself as an introverted person. Because of this, I prefer to keep things to myself. I am not used to expressing my feelings or voiced out my thoughts openly to others,even to those who are close to me. The habits of suppressing my inner feelings and thoughts gradually force me to find a way to let myself at ease. Seeing birds flying in the sky is one them. They symbolize tranquility and serenity. It felt as if all my troubles and problems burst out of the birds' chest,dissolved, and vanished into the thin air.

Birds are a part of nature like any other beings on earth. What makes them special is that they could fly. Birds soaring up high in the sky symbolize freedom for most of us. I definitely agree with the notion. Sometimes things just do not happen the way we want them to,and despite of facing the reality, we tend to run away from it. Also, there are times when constraints are everywhere and everything seems complicated,emotions run high and to make it worse,there seem to be no way out. In a situation like these,freedom seems almost out of reach. The ability to make choices, to live without fear and having all the rights to do what we would want to is made possible by the humble act of nature. I would also say that somehow,birds flying in the sky represent hopes too.

As the eldest child in the family, it is hard for me to accept the fact that one day, I will have to leave my parents and build a life of my own. Having to be responsible in almost everything build an unbreakable bond between us and make me even more reluctant to even think of 'leaving'. It feels like abandoning them regardless of it being good or not. Here,birds flying in the sky represent abandonment. Birds that fly in the sky are definitely heading somewhere. They migrated when the weather or the condition does not favour their being in a place.

In myths and superstitions there are birds which are considered to be good luck and there are some which is associated with bad omen. Consider mythic birds like the Phoenix-a sacred fire bird which can be found in Persians,Greeks,Romans,Egyptians, and Chinese mythologies which symbolize rebirth, immortality, and renewal with birds such as crows or ravens which symbolize death,sorrow, bad luck and evil. It is believed that to see birds like the Phoenix flying in the sky brings good omen rather than seeing the crow flying over us. So,from a superstitious point of view, the kind of birds that fly in the sky really make a big difference as it influences the belief system of those whose life is surrounded by these things.

Lastly, I would say that birds flying in the sky represent uncertainty. The sky portrayed the big wide world which is full of many,many things to be discovered. I see myself as those birds, flying sometimes in one direction and sometimes aimlessly to their destination. We would never know whether all of them will keep on flying together or reach to the destination safely. But birds usually fly together in flocks and that is the best part. It gives sense of belonging.

In a nutshell, the topic “Birds Flying in the Sky” is arbitrary as it is interpreted differently from one person to another depending on one's experiences. Meaning is created when one intends to relate something to others and communicates using existing signs and codes in a culture.
