Magnificent. The threads of this story are so beautifully woven together -- the bird, our freedoms, the search for solutions and meaning, finding respite. Lovely. Thank you.
Thank you for allowing me to wake up to this beautiful and meaning essay. So much to ponder in that bird and the messages it evokes in you and in me. Much gratitude.
What a gorgeous piece! I will always love a story about how birds bring meaning to life. They are little messengers to help us in life. Thank you for capturing that so beautifully.
Lovely. At the moment, the very moment, one of many to come, when we really need it. We are that poor bird, and we are the observer. I can only hope we are on a cycle, and that when this turn of the wheel ends, there will be some beauty in the world left to us.
I have been there, both in terms of banging my head and frantically trying to discourage the persistent little bird from banging her head in cadence with my own. The news draws me in. I pull away and then, like a fierce magnet, I’m back again. I am helpless, can’t stop, can’t actually believe what I’m reading, watching. The definition of insanity. I recite the serenity prayer over and over. Maybe it will help.
Just what I needed to read this am, after being pounded with breaking news alerts, like that bird…this gives me hope, and faith. Such a beautifully written, profoundly vulnerable and meaningful story. Thank you!
Oh I love this, beautiful sister Lavinia, it really moved me. I will be curious to know if you see your ladybird around the yard, more peaceful now that you helped her to see beyond her illusion.

What a salve for the bad news that shells us day in and day out, and a reminder to find a reprieve in the beauty of small victories, and birds.

Like the others said, what a gift to wake up to. Today I will bang my head slightly less and seek solutions no matter how temporary.

So poignant, thank you for sharing. I hope the little bird keeps safe.
What a beautiful essay. The writing is fabulous, the message equally wonderful.
Exactly what I needed to read right now! Amazing how nature, especially this bird, expands our thinking.
