But hopefully, we can find the strength to get up and fly again. <br /><br />BTW, I can't believe you had that many robins this time of year. I'm guessing you live in a bit warmer climate than my Michigan one! We don't see robins until at least March or April.Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-55359186324209571102010-02-02T11:23:31.573-05:002010-02-02T11:23:31.573-05:00I had a moment some years ago when a bird hit the ...I had a moment some years ago when a bird hit the glass front door of my small office building. I came downstairs to see what happened, and saw a sparrow lying on the front step. As I watched, it moved one leg, slowly, shuddered, and went still. The thought of it still mists my eyes. Something warm and small and free went still and cold in an instant.<br /><br />I'm glad your robins survived to fly again, good lady.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-84396776129281529072010-02-02T09:51:00.427-05:002010-02-02T09:51:00.427-05:00Thanks for the reminder.

As a child, a mother might pick us up, hug away the hurt, and send us out to play. We learn, though, that adults, like birds, have to pick themselves up and move on. Loved how you connected this all together.<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-53181672942866648662010-02-01T21:28:57.368-05:002010-02-01T21:28:57.368-05:00I love the way you string your words together!

A...So beautiful...love the sentiment in this post.<br /><br />And yes, the call of the birds in the spring always, always renews hope in me. After a long winter, there is nothing like birdsong to lighten your heart. And what a beautiful analogy for surviving heartache.<br /><br />Moreover, I think perhaps there's nothing quite like myopic birds to make us feel glad we're not birds ;) I was once told if you make your windows too clean and shiny, birds will run into them. Perhaps if you put something up on the glass, they might be less likely to hit it? I once had two birds run into my car on the same drive. It was tragic. I was frazzled for the rest of the day.Carolina M.
