This photo was sent to me by my dear friend in West Texas. Sometimes in life we are like this pigeon… flying at mach 3 just hoping that every “opening” is actually just that and not some mirage of freedom. Don’t let your pace today kill your judgment… apparently it terminated much more than that for this poor bird.


I see the lesson in this blog, but it reminds me also of the many birds (inclding an owl) that flew into our plate glass window in Seattle. They’d come in for the birdbath and just overshoot into the window…quite loudly, I might add! Thanks for the memory!
