ONCE UPON A TIME

…there was a lonely swan.
Every bird this morning filled me with a little light.
Cormorant is an ancient bird with a unique and quirky natural history and many secrets to tell.
  Birds will show you secrets from another world– fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life.

“There are things you can’t reach. But
You can reach out to them, and all day long.

The wind, the bird flying away. The idea of god.

And it can keep you busy as anything else, and happier.

I look; morning to night I am never done with looking.

Looking I mean not just standing around, but standing around
As though with your arms open.”

― Mary Oliver
