Magic and awe.

[derekl_1963]

When working in my shop, I like to keep the garage door open to let light and the breeze in. This morning, a little magic briefly wandered through that open door...

This morning, I’ve been working on bolting up a project and listening to the birds assault the blackberries across the alley. All of the sudden I realized that their calls were coming from inside the shop… For about fifteen minutes, while I stood and watched in awe, a pair would poke among the berries, fly into the shop and perch a moment to sing to each other, and then fly back to the berries. Then suddenly whatever will o’ the wisp brought them into the shop whisked them away again.

To whoever keeps the universe cranking – thank you for that brief time of beauty and awe.

Always a welcome moment when nature decides to peek in on us.

Gosh I love moments like you described! I am one of those who is totally in awe of nature and anytime I get to be witness to something magical and/or inspirational, it makes me pause and reassess my priorities. Usually the things that were bothering me don't seem so important anymore... Thanks for the special moment!
