The fastly darting, never stopping, only pausing, on the forest
fringe, insect eating, not quite a warbler, not quite a gnatcatcher,
relatively non-descript feathered beasie is none other than a House
Wren who apparently is discovering new places to dine. It even flew
up to check out the jelly feeder this morning and I didn't even need
my binoculars.
Thank you for all the responses, suggesting, observations to elevate
my distribution skills, and general connectedness I always feel
towards this community. I get you all really care and are oh so
willing to share.
On a more personal oberservation, I was amazed at myself on a few of
the responses. I found myself in reaction to some - like they might
be negative or hurtful - so I bounced them off my wife and daughter.
Neither one read the same thing into them. They thought they were
neutral and informative and actually caring. So I affirm that every
posting, every response, every verbal interaction or electronic
interaction is sent with neutral-to-caring intent and any reaction to
any words is simply my historical stuff coming up. Given my family of
origin experiences and the struggles we went through, I guess I have a
lot or reaction available to me if I choose to let it color what I am
reading. Everything is a neutral event, it is me that brings energy
into it.
Thank you all for your willingness to share and care.
