Father Henri J. M. Nouwen’s Daily Meditation – Friday, January
3, 2014 “Vulnerable, Like a Bird”
Life is precious. Not because it is unchangeable, like a
diamond, but because it is vulnerable, like a little bird. To love life means
to love its vulnerability, asking for care, attention, guidance, and support.
Life and death are connected by vulnerability. The newborn child and the dying
elder both remind us of the preciousness of our lives. Let's not forget the
preciousness and vulnerability of life during the times we are powerful,
successful, and popular.
