Duality of Mind

"Faith is the bird that

feels the light

when the dawn is still dark."

Rabindranath Tagor

 

I often look at the sparrow as one that is of the most common of birds. Maybe it is that so many inhabit my trees and bushes. Today I have a different appreciation for these little creatures. It to has many beautiful qualities, if I just take time to look and appreciate. Maybe little sparrow is not brilliantly colored, or splendidly fashioned with exquisite markings, but this little bird brings pleasure and delight as I watch her at the feeder, and near her nesting spots taking care of her young. This sparrow to has a spot in the creation of our being, and recognizing that this place is one of contentment,  pleasure, joy, and appreication for all of God's blessings is a blessing in itself. No matter how small, or trivial one may think something is, there is always the interconnectedness that belongs to all things that live on this planet. It is only in our minds that something, someone, or some situation is labeled and looked at from our own lenses that we see things as they are not. So as I look at this beautiful sparrow, I truly have come to have a different feeling and perspective on how the lenses I look through can bring a change in thought and understanding of what each and everything gives to life if I am open to seeing.
