For the first time I can remember I hit a bird head on on my windshield. Out of nowhere I saw the underside of its wings and then I heard the bang as it hit me. I was so surprised. They usually flit out of the way, following the wind currents around the car. I had to use my wiper washers to wash away the evidence of the fatal mishap. I was unusually calm about the whole thing. I was a little surprised at my lack of remorse for the bird. But I was distracted by thoughts of home and the more than usual admonitions from my husband to be careful on the way to work. I was wondering if my run in had been bothering his subconscious. I feel bad for the bird, but fortunate for myself that it wasn’t a deer. |
