This morning the Sparrows in several birdhouses are fledging, after
restlessly peeking out of their homes all yesterday, and for the most part, the
mothers scolding them and pushing them back inside.
But
it was of no use, and they all knew, so today the small ones are all completely
magically venturing forth.
So
pause for a moment and imagine hatching out of an egg! And hanging out and
being nearby frequently arriving parents and getting bigger and more and more
cramped and having this powerful sense of something MORE waiting out there
through that opening your parents enter and exit though all day long.
Imagine wanting to Do all that
exiting and entering yourself, very much so, as something intense rises up
within you and pushes you to the opening.
Maybe you're the first of the
siblings or the last. I watched the last of one clutch this morning, the tiny
baby boy daring to do what others before him did, and somehow exit the house on
sheer trust and drive. And find himself fluttering about and ending up on it's
roof. To sit there calling and calling while the mom and dad sat in the nearby
Sassafras tree, anxious, answering, and yet, no spring chickens themselves.
