A pair of blackbirds perch facing one another

Originally published: Mar 2007

A pair of blackbirds perch facing one another, intoning impossible-to-mimic vocalizations of purpose. They are not interested in what might or could be. They are in the midst of what is.

They, we, are like an exhaled breath – consumed yet unburdened.

Released from the bonds of purpose, every thought wanders back to the first moment. We should be so happy to be dying.
