an early morning thought + sotd
i was taking out the garbage this morning (and let me tell you, daylights savings is still messing with me, because it feels like 5am) and i saw the strangest thing. there was a bird walking around in my driveway. it struck me as aimless, with nowhere to go. it would walk six or seven steps (really, hops) and then fly for about a foot. this could have had something to do with the rain, but it was just odd to watch. at some point, it turned its head and saw me, and started taking bigger hops and longer flights. then i couldn’t see it anymore (i’m almost sure it ran into the big tree in my neighbor’s yard).
but the broader point is: that little bird needed a push. i was his push, but he needed an impetus to do more and to be more. i feel a lot like that little bird these days…
