The Flight Of Birds
A Thoughtpiece
Look up to the sky and see birds in flight, taking your soul places that you never thought of.
Seagulls, who tell us that a storm is coming as they circle and call before the wind and rain follow them inland from their marine avian kingdom.
Swifts and Swallows so graceful as they criss-cross the sky as we watch from a garden or window.
Charming us with birdsong as we walk through a forest seeing a mother caring for her chicks in their nest, knowing that one day, those yet to fly will be part of some aerial display for our delight,
Watch a murmuration of starlings weaving the dreams of a child or princess in the ballet-like fabric of their precise journey, making shapes that instantly transform from one wondrous image to another, as though Athena, Minerva and Rhapso were creating a heavenly tapestry.
See the flights of birds and let your soul be lifted into the firmament and they take your spirit on journeys through the ether to make you feel one with nature.

The Pride Flag and the Diversion
For nearly a decade, the LGBTQIA Pride Flag rippled in the wind at Christopher Park, a kaleidoscope of color staked into the soil of America’s first national monument to LGBTQIA+ liberation. That flag came down this week. Federal officials, citing new guidance from the Trump Administration, silently lowered the rainbow flag from its pole across the street from the Stonewall Inn. The birthplace of the modern gay rights movement now flies only the United States flag.

This felt so blissful! Loved your poem!
I live in Delaware and often hear sea gulls making noise over head. In all these years I didn't know they were telling us there was a storm coming. Thank you for the article. Next time I see and hear sea gulls I will check the weather. Nicely Done.

We can learn a lot just watching the birds don't we. Good job.
