Thérèse of Lisieux on being a "little bird"
Another way of seeing things…
I don’t spot eagles very often but when I do,
it feels like I’ve just been honored with its presence.
Eagles are elusive.
Also, eagles are known to steal food from osprey and other birds
who have just done a lot of hard work to get a bite to eat.
That feels a bit like empire.
The strength and wingspan of the eagle are definitely bar none.
More and more, though, I hesitate to use it as a metaphor for God.
God’s bird kingdom (kin-dom) is vast and varied.
There’s a steadfastness in the morning cardinal song.
The ubiquitousness of robins is reliable.
There is undeniable strength in these ordinary, everyday
small birds. They show up as their authentic selves.
This feels more and more like God showing up for me.
Yes, I love cheering on our 2 sons, it never stops. What a joy to see then succeed and play. I do love the little things, such a delight to be with that little sweet bird.
