birdwatching soft and sweet and sunny

"For the Lord's word is plain and binding:
"Do not worry about your life."

Fretful anxiety is forbidden for the believer, and it is needless.

If you have a Father in heaven to care for you,

are you not put to shame by every little bird

that sits upon the bough and sings,

though it has not two grains of barley in all the world?"

--Charles Spurgeon.

how alien and how fetterless they are,

and traveling always traveling

; an invisible community whose chirps we get used to

when all the while they've something to teach.
