A truth or two shared
by me and the sparrow
resides simply in
what
it means to be alive
As we are both
thereby
susceptible to wound
and
yet simultaneously
blessed as
participants
in the endless saga
of
enlightenment
Today is April 8th which is National Draw-a-Bird Day. I can't draw so I wrote this poem instead and borrowed this drawing by Wendy Olsell from the Draw-a-Bird Day Archives. Draw-a-Bird Day is a celebration of a practice developed by WW II veterans convalescing on a hospital ward who began drawing birds to speed on their recovery.
