Mother Nature’s Distractions
Mother Nature speaks to us in a language we can all understand. It’s the most beautiful language in the world, because it stimulates all our senses and sends invaluable messages to help us navigate our life journey.
During my morning walk today, it felt as if I were on a Hitchcock movie set, with birds screeching and feasting on our newly harvested fields.
My monkey brain was startled into silence.
And my worries and cares took flight on the wings of blackbirds.
Speak on. This writer welcomes Mother Nature’s distractions.
Just for fun, here are links to three blackbird poems:
Alfred Tennyson, The Blackbird.
Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird.
Alexander Anderson, A Blackbird’s Nest.
As always, thanks for stopping by,
