As a card-carrying member of the Bird Tribes in this foreign territory of the mentally landlocked, I really love this eloquently simple little poem ...

A beautiful poem, Victory.

Deft imagery plays a delicately sweet tune in my mind.

It’s good to be able to take a breather and pop in here. I’ve been turning as a cog in the corporate wheel a little too “hard” as of late. These tariffs have caused a bit of chaos for my role specifically and my brain turns to mush before I get home, lots of couch surfing and letting the TV watch me.

Thanks a million WH! We're both doing our part to wake people up (if possible). Keep doing what you're doing as well, ok?

One of my mentors has been talking a lot about 'dog consciousness' of late - a beach can see dog breeds from across the world come together and be getting along just fine within 30 seconds of sniffing each other. Meanwhile, we humans go to bicker in smalltalk about all things social, cultural, political etc. and never get anywhere to the core of our being and connection as human beings. The dogs get it, and the sparrows do too. Thank you for this piece!
