“May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours,
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
Wind work these words
Of love around you,
An invisible cloak
To mind your life.”
-John O’Donohue

“When the canvas frays
In the currach of thought
And a stain of ocean
Blackens beneath you,
May there come across the waters
A path of yellow moonlight
To bring you safely home.”

“And when your eyes
Freeze behind
The grey window
And the ghost of loss
Gets into you,
May a flock of colors,
Indigo, red, green
And azure blue,
Come to awaken in you
A meadow of delight.”

The weight deadens
On your shoulders
And you stumble,

Not a great shot, but my most borb-y of all the shots of #borbs I have. I believe this is a golden-crowned kinglet. #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin

I learned something new about #Songbirds when checking to see which birds are actually songbirds. Did you know that songbirds must learn their song from their parents, much like human children learn to speak? For non- songbirds, their calls are instinctual. #BirdOfTheDay #birds

I was out by the salt marshes at sunrise this morning, and was rewarded with this great blue heron hanging out about 5 feet from the parking lot. #birds #EastCoastKin

And this is when they said goodbye to me. I went back to the park later in the day hoping to for more murmurations but they were gone or resting. #birds #murmuration #starlings #EastCoastKin
