Whenever I hear birdsong - particularly at dawn, but really all day long, I feel momentarily liberated from the burdens of my small-picture view of life. Ah, thank God for the birds, their larger chorus of meaning overtaking my own, making mine right-sized! I want to think of noble things, like birds and all other-than-human beings, of stars, and the elements, because they take me outside of my little self and help me let go of it. They help me find love somewhere else.
