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.
