Garden

This pretty much sum's up my experience lately

"I saw a bird perched on a tombstone.
I realized if I reached for it, it would fly away
If I caught and held onto it, it would die,
but if I stood back and watched from a distance I could watch it sing."

I think we love the bird for it's beauty, grace and singing...but we also want to grab a hold of it and make it our own...only to be sad when the singing stops.
What most attracted us to that bird was it's beauty,  freedom and independence   I truly believe that if the bird likes singing in your garden, it will visit time and time again.  So I will focus on tending to my garden, not trying to grab the bird.
