Aww, gee, thanks so much for your sweet comment! I truly do love the lessons that the little birds bring me. They are my constant companions and faithful teachers. The best part of all is that they teach in such a loving, gentle, beautiful manner. THis is why I am so fond of the phrase "...a little bird told me..." Sending you love and light...and big blue sky for flight. xo Hi Ellen! Aww, gee, thanks so much for your sweet comment! I truly do love the lessons that the little birds bring me.

Thanks for your great comments -- I agree with you that little birds are wondrous creatures with so much to offer us as symbolic teachers. They may be flitting about here, there and everywhere, but they have a spirituality that is pretty intense and quite strong because they easily manage both flight and groundedness. As water birds, mallards are a wonderful totem experience. They represent moving through the waters of life with grace and comfort. Thanks for stopping by! Hi JC!

Feathers that are touched but for mere moments. For a few years, I lived at a place that had an above-ground pool in a fenced-in back yard. Before the pool was opened for the season, a mallard couple would use the snow and rain water accumulated in the top tarp as a sanctuary to do whatever a male/female duck couple do before actually nesting. Maybe sometimes, the best we can hope for is, after we anthropomorphize the creatures, try to pull lessons of caring, generosity and compassion into our futures.
