"Combing back to where you started
is not the same as never leaving."
Terry Pratchett
A HAT FULL OF SKY
Even though I was just waking from a nap, I knew I was not yet ready to rejoin the busyness of life. I pulled the curtain open and pushed myself back on the couch. The sky was filled with formations. Just like when I was a child, I watched the objects in the sky shift and reshape.
At some point my eyes dropped lower taking in the tree tops. To my surprise there were numerous birds who had already returned to the neighborhood. Big and small, they darted around as though their wings had been bound all winter. They were scouting out bird feeders and bushes that may be forthcoming with little buds.
Watching out the window brought me the transition needed to move from dreamland to nature to reality. The fanciful displays in the sky erased my rough edges and the birds in flight reminded me of peaceful living. I was able to embrace my reality with a calm heart prepared to live in each moment.
