"Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." --Albert Einstein
My Summer of the Catbird
Nature has a language that we have forgotten but carry in our unconscious minds. Beyond our even knowing, we are called along with the birds to listen to our inner seasons and longings. As author David G. Haskell has said, "In the voices of birds, we hear augury, portent, prophesy. We are drawn across boundaries into other places, other times." In this beautiful story about a Gray Catbird, we find how one person, emerging from a period of deep grieving allowed herself to listen to the language of birds and to be drawn into a deep relationship that led to an inner transformation.
BE THE CHANGE
We are each invited every day to participate in a friendship with Earth and her rhythms beyond the limits of our walls and minds. Listen for that invitation today.
