One other thing i wanted to mention about the metaphor of the birds (which you won’t believe i have only just begun noticing over the last 15 years or so, and in recognition of which my son bought me a beautiful bird-feeder only this past year for my birthday!!! – not sure how the beautiful birds of my native india completely escaped my notice and now i repine for that loss of senses on my part! :( ) : but, yes I was about to say that I had also begun noticing something similar about the chirrups and tweets and twitterrings of all the birds – on a walk around their dinner time say 4 o’clock or so in the evening there is such intense chatter if you walk by trees where they nest; in the early hours of the day or during mid-day there are the differently paced duets and the whistling back and forth, and they all reminded me of something similar they share with us humans – Nature’s symphony that depends upon each one doing their own thing –
