time elapses by and I don’t notice until its already gone.
when you find yourself in a good place thats how it goes.
you notice life, its blossoming vibrant inhale/exhale.
i have become a regular bird watcher.
I notice so much now, i feel like it awakens me to my surroundings.
My new friends are; the barred owl that lives above my house, he comes out at least twice a week to have a starring contest, as we sit in admiration of each other.
the cardinals that flutter from branch to branch, always in couples, reminding me that love can exist and what im feeling isn’t trivial nonsense, but what i have had in the past has been.
the blue herons that i see on my bike rides down the Hawthorn trail…
the red winged blackbirds, the males, have a call that reminds me of where i grew up, here in the swamp lands of Florida. we share that, him and I, as we sat and watched them.
the mocking birds and the crows that constantly bicker,and never seem to find common interest and agree to disagree.
and of course my own bird, Taco, who is the most beautiful Sun Conure and awakens me daily with kisses and an offering to the sun gods through dance and song.
If we come back as something, if re-incarnation is real…i want to come back as a bird.
