Chirping Birds
It's at least a full hour before the dawn
I hear birds chirping outside my shuttered window
If only I could share in their enthusiasm
God bless these fragile, feathered dinosaurs!
And God bless me
It's Easter
I can use me a right good Resurrection.

My sentiments (almost) exactly this Easter morning. New dawn, new day, revamped body - all would be great!
Yes, yes. And the illustration is smile-making.
Amen to that, Jonas! But that resurrection can be self-propelled too, don't forget...

I'm glad the birds come to visit you, Jonas. Happy Easter XX
this made me smile...when I was a kid, and not a heathen, my family would get up early for the sunrise Easter service and even now the thing I remember most is the morning song of birds. we lived in the city so the mourning doves spoke up first, then all the others chirping up a racket.
Some birds have the sweetest song, and others....well, they could use a new tune. Either way, so much better to wake to the birds than to the alarm. "A right good resurrection" indeed.
God...must they start each day at 4 a.m.? Drives me NUTS.
I've been hearing the birds chirp too. I don't mean to sound grumpy, but I wish they would shut up and let me sleep.
I gotta say, Selma, it's the cooing of the birds that keeps me breathing...
I got me a special place in my heart for Mourning Doves, Ms. foldingfields. They delight me daily.
Yeppers, Ms. WaW, crows kinda grate on my nerves. Then, again, crows amaze with their creativity and ingenuity. Don't get me started 'bout Loons...
Oi, Maria and Anna...I am cut from different cloth.
I hear the birds chirping in the dark of night and I ponder: "How the fok do they KNOW it's an hour before the dawn"!?! Seriously. They amaze me. As days grow longer...and then shorter...they ALL seem to know when dawn will break.
I WISH I knew the same.
Oh, on mornings like this I start with this hope, trick is for us to harness the hope and hang onto it for the remainder of the day.
I like to start my day wrapped in a blankie on the deck with a cup of deep brown nectar... and try to figure out which birds are singing to me through the darkness. The Jays are easy as they are very harsh buggers but I really need to learn the songs of the others. The Bush-tits are the only ones who visit me up close.
Yes, indeedy, Ms. lu. The trick is, in fact, to "harness hope."
I've paid little mind to who may be singing. It's the song that beguiles.
I'm lucky, I guess. I live in a world of mourning doves. Is any creature more seductive with its soft coos at dawn and dusk?
There are those who live with loons. They're a different breed of human.
It's all a symphony, no? There in the darkest dark, we each hear it.
