You’re lucky to be visited by the “common” yellowthroat with its “wickity, wickity, wickity” song. I agree: it’s not common at all. Are ornithologists calling it the “Maryland Yellowthroat” now?

There must be a lesson in the birds—”their song, then gone”—but I’m so enchanted watching them and listening to them that I keep forgetting the lessons I’ve learned.

That perches in the soul-
And sings the tune without the words-
And never stops – at all -” Emily Dickinson
Every spring on the Betsie River there is a bird that sings all day long. Sometimes it is the Song Sparrow, but more often the Maryland Yellowthroat (nothing common about it!). And my heart sings with it.

Every spring when the warblers come through–and I don’t know them as Keith does–I think of that migration. Their song, then gone. Yup, thanks to Keith for shining the light of their bird song on us for a bit.

That’s all. Once again proving that the greatest movement we can ever be part of is the one that takes place in our own perspective. Within that grey mass, spanning a common 5.6 inches between the right and left ear of the human skull.

We may urgently desire to be a part of something great. That is a good – as a driver. In which its greater purpose will be as a clarifier. One for which we see better, the values that come to us on a regular basis, with clearer eyes. Opened through the convexity of greater vision made possible by the stretch to see more.

Enabling us to see the greater values of the world at arm’s length, while stretching to see the limits of possible.

Ah yes. That’s all indeed.

AOF
