There is a place near me where one of the dialysis patients i ride with lives. We really have a long ride in, a longer wait to go home, and a long ride home. I leave my house at 6:50 am, and we get to the hospital just before 8. All we have to entertain us on these long rides is conversation and what we see out our window. Our driver is a cheery chap, but we are not going to a fun place and sometimes we give up the pretense, and just sit quietly.
Well this woman i refer too takes a while to be put in the car, so I have observed a house across the street. It had a lovely ivy of some sort growing high and so wide it blocked a wee window. But now the sun is up so early mornings, this green vertical garden hosted a bajillion birds. My driver joked that it must be hard to sleep in that house when the birds wake up.
Friday the 13th we did everything the same as we always do, but there was something wrong. The birds were very agitated and chirping and flying all over. I turned to get a better view from my car
window and to my surprise i noticed the house was an ugly grey stone looking like cement. The beautiful hedge is gone, and it seems the family may be considering painting their home. This is certainly correct to do as it is their house, but I wonder if they know what they have done?
My morning ritual of enjoying the ivy and the birds is gone, but i move on with my day. Where will all these birds nest now? Will they even make another nest?
True, it is not our house, and their is only about 5 minutes twice a day i see the growth. All that aside, I wonder if that family realized what a boost that was to our day, to start out looking at that greenery.It spoke to me of Spring, and rebirth and natures way of starting over.
Am I Silly,yes, and are children still dying in the Sudan? YES.
But a bit of me was ripped out this week too, just wanted to say...
Blessings...
