Bird Song

I slept for a chunk of Sunday afternoon. I know a lot of preachers do this, but not me. I usually can't sleep during the day. But yesterday I did. And I had a very strange dream.

I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get to sleep last night, but... no worries. I think I was out by 10 or so. We left the window open because it was pretty steamy yesterday evening upstairs after a few hot days in a row and I was awakened by bird song at 4:30 this morning. I don't recall ever being so conscious of bird song as I have been the past few weeks this year.

"There were birds in the sky, but I never heard them singing, no I never heard them at all, till there was you..."

That's right, little one, you're tuning me in.

Isn't amazing at what can make you more aware of things going on around you... things that have always been there... but that you just never quite had time to notice. Smiling and praying... with you and for you.
