The
Deep End: - High Flyers
Fr Tom Cahill SVD
Cleo, a 13-year old pet parrot is
usually a model macaw. But one day
she had a panic attack and just
lost it. She shot up 15m [50ft]
into a tree and couldn’t come
down. Having branched out, she fazed
out. Her owner had to hire a cherry
picker to bring the petrified parrot
down to earth. Cleo had never flown
so high before, her owner said,
and she thought that the unfortunate
bird just didn’t know how
to come down. The moral of the story?
Don’t be a bird-brained high
flyer.
Today’s readings have high
flyers and ‘bird brains’
in mind when they say: be humble.
Sirach tells us to go about our
business with humility [3:17]. Luke
gives some street-wise advice on
not being pushy in public and hogging
the limelight [Luke 14:10]. Both
readings come with a health warning
on losing the run of ourselves.
Humility gets a bad press usually.
It seems a weakness to many, as
sign of immaturity, or a personality
defect. Today’s go-getter
geist is aggressive and competitive,
not kind and cooperative. It operates
an in-your-face, nothing-succeeds-like-success
marketplace. There are no humility-friendly
zones there.
In part, that’s because humility
isn’t a loner . It brings
friends: reverence for the sacredness
of human life, respect for every
person, a willingness to accept
gracefully that others may be more
intelligent, gifted and capable.
And the most bothersome buddy of
all: regard for God.
To prevent flying that puts you
out on a limb, avoid cherry picking.
Just take the straight and narrow.
