Birds

This morning I saw cardinals and blue jays skylarking.  They wheeled, dove, soared, and just seemed to be having a grand time.  My heart soared for this was a welcome sign of the coming of Spring.  Sure, this being New England we could yet be hit by another epic blizzard.  But the odds of that happening decrease with every day.  Winter will pass, Spring will arrive, just as Lent will be succeeded by Easter.  But we're not there yet.  As a reminder, the birds were soon gone and thoughts of tomorrow were soon replaced by a focus on the present moment.

The birds will return, their songs will be heard.  For the time being, though, I will content my self with a memory and offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the splendor of his creation.
