Winter’s dissolving.

Over our heads, Pacific Flyway

flocks stretch for miles,

those widgeons, godwits, geese,

bound for northern nests

where they’ll lay their beginnings.

In this cold, storm-broken world,

everywhere, everywhere, intrepid birds rally

toward a season of firsts.

Earthbound, I watch the shift.

My resolve drafting their flight.

Will you join me?

We can slipstream our own newness.

What will mine be?

Yours?

Let’s follow the beauties,

the true things.

Choose them regardless.

Nest in Hope.

—Deuteronomy 4:39

Out for groceries.

(Check those talons!)
