Red Bird...


Well, today I was going to write Part 4 so I could finish up the 1st anniversary year of Facets of Life... but I don't have too many words today...  It's been rainy here, really rainy.  Flood waters are evident.  The wind has been so strong & powerful, almost knocking me over yesterday when I walked outside.


On the way to get Nate from school, this is the HWY covered in sand from the beach ~  
I am very aware of my surroundings.

I appreciate the quick glance I got at the red canary bird that just flew by me, he was flying against the wind & into the rain... which is precisely what I feel like I am doing sometimes. I am not sure where he was going, but he was going somewhere ~

Rough waters from the wind on the way home from NOLA

I wonder if he was tired when he got there.  I am.

I am tired, yet inspired.

One thing I noticed about the beautiful red bird is his presence, he was giving it everything he had & he was flying.

He was beautiful.

As noticed in the above photos, the wind has a way of shifting things... the sand, the water, & even my body when I walked outside.  It was hard to stand against the force that could take me down instantly.  If I would have not held on to something, I would have fallen...(& I have fallen plenty of times)

The wind can cause much chaos in the storm, displacement being almost inevitable.

The little red bird wanted to go somewhere, & he was going...  through the chaotic storms, the winds & the rains, I am inspired by the little red bird.  I want to go somewhere too, even in the storm, when the winds that surround me are displacing things, I want to remain unaffected & determined to fly, just like the beautiful red bird...
