Secret Nest

Entering in through the wobbly gate, my friend and I saw chickens and raised bed vegetable gardens on our community member’s property. Continuing in through another gate, we found beautiful flower gardens, adorning the area around the front door where we landed to lunch. On the wall, there hung a sconce with vines tumbling out.

As we set the small table in the shade with our provisions, a small bird flew toward the sconce then out again to a nearby perch. Sipping tea, serving vegetable soup and munching on crusty bread and roasted cauliflower, we saw the bird repeat the flight back and forth to the sconce. Without disturbing the mama bird, we saw her secret nest filled with babies, mouths open for her next feeding of their tiny bellies.

Are you spending enough time in nature? Can you quietly observe enough to witness the special secret nests that surround us? Ki to Happiness breathes and smile with delight in witnessing the miracles of natural life even in this huge metropolis.
