“In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence.”
― Robert Lynd

I took this photo yesterday from my car while waiting for my son.  I caught both the bird and the plane (the tiny dot above the bird) without realizing it.  The sky is endlessly changing and beautiful to me.

Full quote from Kim Morrow interview:

“It turns out that a lot of this, a lot of the things we were doing before, a lot of the ways we’ve been living in this culture as Americans, have not been so great anyway. This is an opportunity for us to throw those out, throw out the ways of being that don’t serve our wholeheartedness, that don’t serve our health and the health of the world we live in, to throw out those ways that don’t serve our ability to form communities and to care for each other first. So there’s just some really interesting potential, I think, in the midst of this crisis.”  -Kim Morrow, Sep 14, 2019: Climate Change, Community and Personal Resilience, and the Journey of Motherhood
