A picture of innocence…this beautiful hermit thrush. She landed on a tree branch after foraging for seeds among the decaying leaves scattered on the ground. As I watched her explore, I could feel her confidence. She knew she was completely cared for by the Earth.
And I had a thought. Life is a mysterious adventure for us all, including this lovely bird. None of us knows exactly what will happen in the next moment.
And I can choose. I can continue my worried, fretful human ways, or I can trust the process of life, just like this little bird. And know that all that transpires, no matter how it seems, is designed to bring me closer to the Divine.
Learning to fully trust…my New Year’s wish.
Inspired by a lovely little bird.
