Some magical thoughts on the nature of our world and the human experience and oh to heck with it, just whatever I feel like writing about :)

Lessons a bird taught me

A bird is sitting on a tree, whistling as the seconds pass.
I look again, and he is gone -- but there I see him, atop that bush.
Wings fluttering, soul chirping, he trills a love song and flies away.
Many lessons can I learn from such a bird:
One: never stay still for too long, for stagnation breeds unhappiness.
Two: let your soul sing every day, for for that purpose you were given a voice.
Three: When you sing, make it beautiful, for the greatest joy you can have is to put more joy in the world.
And four: if you feel lonely, then get off your tree and find another one. Do not let momentary unhappiness bring you down and keep you from living your life, finding your song, and spending time with those who matter.
