Attentiveness

Ten times a day something happens to me like this - some strengthening throb of amazement - some good sweet empathic ping and swell. This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.

A morning of handsome sparrows, Papa is showing of his beautiful back here. Nearby, this lovely White Throated Song Sparrow with the egg yolk yellow splash was very busy enjoying his morning as well.

Max seems quite normal, over a week after his health crisis, day by day with appreciation we proceed. He actually ran down the loft stairs at top speed last night, so his leg must feel stronger too.


For the record,
This day came in cold and sunny, with a messy rain/snow mix on the way.
