“My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature.” Claude Monet
I love feeding the wild birds
They come in huge flocks now; remembering the yummy food from last year
I feel that nature, the Earth, the Heavens and the creatures all placed here on the world with us are treasure left to our care from the Gods
Otherwise, we would be quite alone in the world.
I think the Highest Powers of Creation took pity on us
Looking down upon our land, all covered in a giant mist of unfeelingness and caring.
They saw how very lonely it truly was, this Earth…there were only Humans.
Humans were creatures of many emotions, the worst was jealousy, anger, and greed.
Because the Gods loved the Earth and they also loved the humans…they gathered from each one of their Heavenly domains creatures to gift the earth; therefore man.
Causing a big storm to fill the sky
they covered the earth, driving all the humans into caves and hallows of trees
While the humans hid, the Gods started filling the Earth with Splendid things—
Rocks, trees, plants of all types and sizes
Seemingly ordinary things, yet so special they were magic unto themselves.
Birds and
Fur-bearing animals,
fish for the waters, and
wonderous little friends to raise up our souls.
Then the Gods lifted the ban on the sun
And Man saw how truly blessed the Gods were to the Earth and to all humankind.
From my heart to your world,
Linda

Wonderful! I feed the birds and small critters both at home and at my work place. It never fails to keep me grounded when I see the birds gathering at the seed I leave for them.
