on my mind

since yesterday.

birds.

how they converse happily with the sun so very early in the morning.

their songs at dusk.

the ones who built a nest to hatch their babies right on my parent’s front porch.

and

then i recalled

this older project.

it’s really straightforward.

my oldest and i stuffed this one with

dried lima beans to give it the ability to stand

(because of the shifting bean bag like weightiness)

on it’s head,

leaned forward like it’s waiting for just the right worm,

leaned backward as if contemplating the sky

and just when to soar through it…

simple fun is often the best

around here.

‘simple’ taken from 20:10 in second kings.

One thought on “on my mind

  1. so many of the nicest things get missed when we don’t take the time to stop and smell the roses!
