That there are two bird nests in your yard shows a level of safety and refuge that I know is real. Whenever I'm out walking and ask my worried mind to tell me something it hasn't told me before, I hear a bird singing. When you write you speak for so many of us.

Oh, my god. Elizabeth. I do believe in signs. I believe in sorrow and its indelible mark on us. I believe in the hoof print of trauma and how that kick feels when it comes again and again. I'm beyond sorry that you saw that man fall to the ground and how you felt it in your body. I wish you recovery. I wish you the image of those beautiful birds and their nests imprinted on your eyeballs. Look at them. Study them. Love to you and Sophie and to the bird photographer and his exquisite talents that help us forlorn humans to see our winged fellow creatures.
