I watched him for a while, this beautiful robin. He sat and sat and sat. Nowhere to go, no one to see, nothing to do. He seemed quite content to simply rest.
And I had a thought. Perhaps this lovely bird was a reminder that winter is the time to slow our pace. A time to pause and go inward, and allow ourselves to be rejuvenated. And in this dream-like state to perhaps glimpse a bit of what’s to come.
In that moment, I melted into the intense quiet…lost in the winter silence, grateful to the little bird for showing the way.
And my heart smiled…
