There was a day, a long time ago, when I witnessed a male blackbird find his lost baby and take great care of it despite many scary things going on nearby. It gave me a new insight into the Fatherly love of God.
What a lovely print and a lovely story! remember hearing my first blackbird in Cambridge, England, years ago, and being completely astounded and also confused, because it sounded like a thrush, but in North America, the birds called blackbirds are not thrushes and don't have singing voices like that. (Red-winged blackbirds, which have very distinctive songs have been described as having voices "like a rusty gate.") When I learned that European blackbirds were thrushes, that gorgeous song made sense. I'm glad you have blackbirds songs to inspire you.
I found your poem very touching and inspiring. I've had pet birds for many years, and I lost my buddy Teddy about a year ago, and it really made me think about how much I loved his clear clean communication and even his little mutterings. Birds are truly precious little souls who belong here as much as we do, if not more, right now.

And then God created people so they could go forth and invent fence posts, upon which blackbirds and meadowlarks could stand upon and sing.

Sigh, just the beauty I needed today.

I don't think I've read this before, so thank you for re-posting it. Your essays are short and sweet and zing right straight to the heart.
thank you so much; i needed this reminder to be, sing above the cacophony here. 🙏🏼
Lovely. Thank you!
Beautiful blackbird <3
