i'm still here
i hear your song too
we made it
do you know why
birds sing just before dawn?
scientists believe it's
to tell their mates
they made it through the night,
as a way of saying,
"i'm still here."
maybe that's why we sing, too,
why we create art-
as a way of saying,
"i made it. i'm still here."

dear ones,
thank you for gathering
with the first light of this new day.
for pouring your song into the quickening sky
and lifting my heart just by showing up.
small words huge hearts

I'm still here, yes... making art and letting the world know that I made it. Thank you for being here every week too Rebecca, I wave to you in your first sunrays of the day while the sun is sinking lower here on my island at the other side of the oceans. I hope you have a day that is as nice as mine. Hugs from Holland!

I really love it that birds may sing to let their mates know they are still here. Thanks for that thought. Happy Day!!

That Goldfinch is really getting after the sunflower seeds. A neat shot. Have a nice weekend.
