It Takes A Village

I snapped this picture on a Fall Day in October

These little guys caught my eye  as I sat, having coffee outside
It struck me that I am always rushing, pushing, 'accomplishing'

(and by doing so, 'missing' a lot of the point of life)

They (the bird village) seemed to be trying to remind me to stop

To look, to listen

To just be for a few moments...

I accepted their invitation

I sat with them awhile, taking in the sun 

(a good way to begin the day)
