You go, girl! Sorry to post this commnent so late, but I read blogs when I can, and there are so many lovely ones. I do believe that action comes so much more easily out of love and gratitude, than it does from a sense of "duty." And I so love the birds, and what they have to teach us. Thanbks for this.

Trying to come from a place of love rather than anguish and anger is always a challenge, but you're right, it keeps us from burnout. wonderful words. After a long hard winter here in Kansas, the first dark morning that I heard birdsong (solo, plaintive) gave me such a rush of pleasure it was difficult to describe.

Lovely, Marion. I, like Sharon, found the line about "anguish shot through with joy" to be especially poignant. I was blind-sided the other week by the news that the oceans have reached their tipping point.

I could scarcely believe my eyes when I walked up to the fields near the Belgian village where I live and saw and heard a skylark for the first time. I knew what it was straight away although we don't have them in Canada. I had been missing my family and thinking particularly of my father, a WW2 vet, who was in his final illnes with cancer. The poem "In Flanders' Fields" (written by a Canadian) was running in my mind, as it continued to do every time I went for a walk for the first couple of years we were here: "...and the larks, still bravely singing, fly... I was almost brought to my knees with wonder and gratitude.
Love,S

"It is only when our passion is infused with spirituality and when our anguish is shot through with joy that we are able to fly high enough above the world’s problems to see the larger landscape."

Such wise words. Thank you.
