Little Things

This morning I actually stopped to watch a baby bird making its awkward way through the air between two palm trees. He fluttered and flapped and flew one way and then the other. Typically loosing altitude, he ungracefully landed on the trunk, climbing to the apex of the tree and then launching himself towards the other tree.

I watched this for probably ten minutes. It was all I could spare. It was beautiful. The bird's parent in one of the trees, just siting there watching. Sun rising over the mountain range to the east.

If we could all just shut-up and listen to nature, she has so much to teach.
