She landed nearby…a beautiful warbler. I noticed she was perched among thorns, but appeared unfazed by the sharp protrusions. Remarkable.
As I continued wandering, I had a thought. We humans have our own version of thorns…occasional sharp words and actions that arise when we’re afraid or hurt.
What a blessing it is when we can forgive each other’s thorniness and know that our missteps don’t define us.
And to have compassion for ourselves and each other on this very challenging journey we call life.
Something to ponder…inspired by a lovely little bird.
