The Wisdom of the Two-Entrance Nest

Among nature's teachers of wisdom are birds. They attend school and read books; they need not even do so to be able to build houses, to protect their eggs, to feed their young and to prepare them for independence. One of the many marvels of nature is the provision of nesting facilities which has both an entrance and an emergency route, and that were designed for protection, survival and easy access.
This book embraces that amazing design as a symbol for contemporary living. The nature of uncertainty, danger, competitiveness and speedy change are shared by families, organizations, and individuals in today's world. Like all birds that make safe nests for their eggs and young, we have to build safe systems for our children, our careers, our relationships, our finances, our communities.
The first entrance is the normal way of living, work, education, communication, development. The second entrance symbolizes readiness, intelligence, flexibility and how to "respond" when unexpected problems pop up. One entrance is all well and good and may make a nest seem complete, but can easily become a snark trap in times of peril. Similarly, living without planning is likely to be precarious.
The lessons in this book are very practical, spiritual and inspiring. They find wisdom in nature and they relate to it to human life. This book illustrates, both through stories and reflections, and in real-life applications, how we can learn from a little bird to grow stronger, safer, wiser and more purposeful.
We hope these pages can inspire you to conserve what is valuable, care for those who are placed in your care, and create a future that not only is successful, but also secure, fulfilling and filled with hope for generations to come!
