#20.- Storks in the Church steeple

Once every some years, when the storks migrate from the arriving cold temperatures from the North to the warmer temperatures of the South, they stop in the town where I live.
Usually they rest in the church steeple. This is the highest place of the town. Each stork has its own space in a peak, like an statue. Depending of the years they need more space and then they occupy the tops of  the cedars. This is what happened today!
The show is beautiful, free, but it only lasts a day (or less). They arrive at the sunset and they leave at the sunrise of the next day.
A lot of excited people come there to take photos of them with the impassive gaze of the storks.
The storks give us a lesson: They abandon their comfortable nest and start a huge travel, flying hundreds of miles to start again in a new place. And every season change the story is repeated. In fact, this supposed discomfort and big effort is what guarantees their survival.
We should learn from them and practice some changes to be prepared or recycled for the future, to apreciate what we have and the cost to get it. They can fly hundreds of miles because their baggage is light.... but We are tied up to our luggage (i.e job, home, family, ...)

The Mother Nature is clever and give lessons to us every day for free. We should only pay attention!
