Before me there is such an abundance of birds of different sizes going about their adventures.
Some in the birdhouse, some at the birdbath, some at the peanuts or the seeds or the fatballs, some in the plants, some on the ground, some flying past.
Some are So tiny, they might appear so familiar, “ordinary’ or ‘everyday’ but I Adore each new arrival with squeals of delight and such joy at their presence.
Some might look like their colours are plain or forgettable but then they turn and the light catches them just so for a moment and they Flash their incredible colours of radiance and luminosity.
Isn’t that like us all I wonder?
Sometimes we may glance at another, not really looking at all and maybe they appear to be ordinary, everyday, perhaps dull, uninteresting and forgettable?
But stay close and intimate and So very very Patient to notice the sometimes almost impercievable, microscopic turn where the light catches just so and a soul Sparkles revealing the shocking glimpse of their dazzling brilliance, beauty and luminosity for even the briefest of moments.
This is in Every Single being, you just need to get good at looking.
In a world of big, brash, fast, loud, instant gratification... I choose to stay quiet and slow and look with my heart to be gifted the thrill and magic of a shy soul gifting their true flash of radiance for even a moment.
And the gift makes me weep.
