Something I saw or thought I saw

Last week we were on vacation in my favorite place in the universe, Austin, Texas. With three kids, you tend to get out of bed a bit earlier than you'd like. One early morning whilst coaxing my mind out of dreamland over a cup of joe, I found myself looking out the patio doors at a bird house.

The birdhouse is one of those iconic red "See Rock City" jobs. Anyway, I saw a small fledgling - some kind of finch I think - fall from the bird house to the earth below.

The bird was clearly dazed. Maybe even a bit sore. I watched the bird gather it's bird wits, dust itself off, and learn how to fly.


Food for thought.
