Bird On a Wire

Sorry for not having posted for a while.  Some physical, emotional, and spiritual stuff related to my Mom's recent passing have held me up a bit.

This post will be kind of meaningless unless you can view the attached photo.  While I'm not 100% certain that it is a picture of a goldfinch, this bird apparently likes the bushes next to our front door.

But the photo is of the "bird on a wire" and brings to mind what this fellow/gal can see that we cannot.  I am not suggesting that we climb up on a physical perch to see what's around us.  However, sometimes we do need to step back, take a breath (don't forget to exhale), and witness all that's around us.

Sure, there's a lot of outright "garbage" out there, but there's also a whole lot of beauty - physical and otherwise.  I also realize that some days are better than others.  I'm hoping that those "better" ones will increase.

Hey, it's a start.
