they teach me how to listen.......


“i pray to the birds
because i believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward.
i pray to them because i believe in their existence...
the way their songs begin and end each day...
the invocations and benedictions of earth.
i pray to the birds because they remind me of what i love
rather than what i fear.
and at the end of my prayers...
they teach me how to listen.”
