I watched this goldfinch shake a thistle plant to gather seeds for his breakfast. In his quest for food, the little bird was also helping spread seed pods to ensure new plants next spring. A perfect symbiotic relationship…
But to my human mind, it looked like a bit of a mess. And I realized I sometimes view life’s experiences through that lens…messy situations that need tidying up.
As I continued wandering, I had a thought. Maybe life isn’t simply a series of messy complications. Maybe each situation is perfectly designed to seed blessings and learning.
So perhaps I can just appreciate it all. The ups and downs and in-betweens that make life interesting.
Something for me to think about…
