my oh my,
that blackbird caught your eye
and left you

something about it,
thinking differently

blackbirds ARE different

Amusing and clever. Thanks.

(smiles) Looks as though Wallace Stevens has been part of your reading today, yes? (big hugggsssssss) Makes you wonder if there are more than thirteen ways of looking at one, when flying one can never look the same, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
