Wednesday Wings

A few mornings ago, I woke up early and went outside to spend my morning in the Sunshine watching Birds and reading.

Of course, this was much to the Rabbits' chagrin, as I normally spend time with Them in the early morning.

"Outside??  WHY???"

But it was early enough that it wasn't too terribly hot, so I thought, why not go outside and do a spot of reading before the Sun starts to fry the yard?

Out I went.

We usually keep a chair out in the yard.  There is a particular spot I like to sit, right by our almond tree.  It is a particularly calm and lovely spot I think, protected by Green Surroundings.  As I sit there, I often see the Outdoor Bunnies hopping.  If I sit still in the chair for long enough, the Birds cease to notice me and I get a good Bird Show as well.  It is a Good Spot.

This particular morning, though, I went outside and the Sun was shining too much in my spot.  The chair was drenched in morning Sun, and I was in the mood for shade.

I leaned down to pick up the chair and as I leaned over, I noticed something amazing.

A Wing.

There was a Beautiful Wing in the grass.  A Moth Wing.

I bent down to pick it up and I realized there was another Wing!

And ANOTHER!

AND ANOTHER!!!!

FOUR WHOLE WINGS!

The Wings!!  I found A Helpful Box to Put Them In.

I picked them all up.  I wrapped them in a piece of paper and took them inside.

Now, I don't know what happened to the Little Body that the Wings were attached to.  But my guess is that one of the Birds I like to watch....ummmmmm....had a snack that did not include Wings.

Instead, I got them.  Wings.  To honor and protect.  Which I will do.

I feel honored by these wings.  To have found all four seems like an honor to me.

A reminder of the Blessings of this Earth.

Thank you, Moth.  Thank you, Earth.
