Putting on a sunbonnet of finest organza, intent upon wandering about in bright sunshine wondering where those long tailed bluebirds pine and the cheerful robins who once hopped the incline for the freshest worms of a spring morning, or why it is the sky’s true blue colors you once knew have lately taken on a darkened dingy hue? But you admit, you’ve already realized your sighs and cries are but an acknowledgement of altered reality... the world as you once saw it is changing, and most of the changes are unsettling, at best. Still, on any given day or night the sight of a baby sparrow or tiny flitting goldfinch can bring a big smile to your face, opening up the coffers of your heart in ways only those who cherish all life equally will understand that it isn’t just the human species that belongs on Earth it isn’t just the human species that puts a smile on the Creator as she turns the pages of each year moving toward to who knows what destiny or planned finale. So put the bonnets on while you are able, watch the tiniest sparrows and finches, cherish the joyful appreciation of life as if you were a bluebird or robin. For none of us may be here tomorrow. |

A wonderful way to live in the Now, dear Kacy! You too touch the theme of Oneness and there it feels "Home". Love, Margherita |

It is so true that we should try to smell the roses now...and appreciate all we have. For someday it or us, or both will cease to be...and there is so much beauty awaiting our eyes, our touch and smell. Thanx Kacy... |

As a bluebird or a robin, may you forever sing and fly! Seize each and every day! I really enjoyed the fruits of your pen, Kacy.  Linda |

For none of us may be here tomorrow. they know don't they as they strut in their bonnets easter thru autumn then somehow make do when rendered without any frills upon it until once more another season grows from ice sipped straws of winters tonic |

Nice piece, Kacy, great thoughts put together here. And you're right "Inked" has a fine response. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
