Every breath of

I READ somewhere that we breath the air that turns into wind and
believe. We can't see it, we can't touch it, we can't grasp
it, and we can't feel it and yet know it's there. We know
there's a sun when it's rising and shining. But in the
darkness of night when there's no sun and we can't see it we
believe there's a sun because we know the sun will come out
tomorrow as expected. Why then, I beg to ask some of us,
can't we believe there is a God?
A most amazing thing happens every
spring on top of the corner nook of the front door of my
house. Every spring, little by little, day by day, a mother
bird (not a father bird, I think, because mothers are more
nurturing) returns and builds a nest of tiny thin sprigs and
branches I even saw the other day a piece of white tissue
attached to the nest. Today, it has become a beautiful and
comfortable nest for the blue eggs (I dragged a small ladder some
years ago to see what's in the nest). Don't ask me what kind
of birds - all I know they are either brown or black birds and
very protective of the young ones. Once or many times, who
knows I wasn't there all the time, the birds even startled my
mailman.
I love the GE ecoimagination ads - the tap
dancing elephants and the wind energy - the little boy
catching the wind in a small bottle, traveling awhile and giving
it to his grandpa for his birthday - every moment tuned to Bob
Dylan's song "Catch the Wind." Very impressive. It
reminded me of a most amazing neat little story about
Thomas Edison:
When Thomas Edison was on his death bed, his dear friend and great
admirer Henry Ford had Edison's son hold a test tube next to his
father's mouth to capture his last breath. The test tube
with Edison's last breath is still on display at the Henry Ford
Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
Wow!
Whoo!

hi altpres...did you look again what kind of bird you have? how can you tell a male bird from a female? that's a fine story on ford and edison.
ReplyDeleteDear IMBusted & Bird Lovers:
ReplyDeleteYou asked what kind of birds nesting at my front
door? It so happened I saw 2 light brownbirds yesterday making
lovey-dovey. I think they are finches found all around the United
States, The Philippines and many parts of the world but never found in
Australia.
How can one tell if a bird is a male or female?
Well, I'm not the Birdman of Alcatraz, this is just a wild guess, the male bird
is bigger that a female bird and has darker feathers than the female bird who
has lighter feathers.
Bye-bye birdie.
