Birds on a wire comfort me. Somehow, even they know when it’s time for a moment of rest. Do they speak to one another, or do they enjoy the silence and the sunlight warming their wings? Do they see the giant Red Shouldered Hawk perched high atop an electrical tower just across the easement? Majestically he surveys his territory and when he takes flight it is breathtaking.
An unseen songbird very close by sings a heavenly aria to which no music can compare. Is her melodious poetry happy or sad? Is she saying goodbye to summer? Is she singing a love song to her beloved? What kind of bird she is, I will never know, yet I express my gratitude to the Universe for granting me audience with her—my whole existence simplified in the moment.
Take time, daily, to appreciate what you love most in this world. Discard your worry and your stress for a little while. Press pause. Simplify your life by existing in the eternal moment of now, and see the beauty all around you.
I hope you all are well.
