Once an eagle was observed soaring high in the sky while a violent mountain storm approached. The observer wondered what the great bird would do when the angry winds struck him. Did he have enough wingspread to stay aloft and keep soaring? Yes, the eagle spread his wings to the fullest, faced the threatening picture, and used the winds of the storm to lift him above the storm itself.
Wingspread! What might it mean to us in terms of Christian Science? Oh, what will enable us to stay aloft and keep soaring, so to speak, even mounting up in the face of stormy experiences?
Might not a large wingspread symbolize that broad charity of the Christ, the divine idea exemplified by Jesus the Way-shower, which embraces the whole world in the scientific healing consciousness of infinite divine perfection?
