This morning I opened the front door to let the cat out and was reaching for the storm door handle, when I noticed a House Finch sitting on the porch railing directly in front of me. There is a family that comes every summer and lives in the Blue Spruce tree. They are such happy beings. They rough house constantly in play and seem to thoroughly enjoy themselves. I call them the Bully Boys because of all their antics. I stood there and began speaking with the bird calling out Bully Boys like I always do out in the yard and having a conversation with him. He danced back and forth, up and down the porch railing all the while he was chattering wildly with excitement. The more I talked the more he danced.
I was pretty sure he was there to say goodbye for this year as we had just had two nights of frost and things were cooling down quickly now. I told him I would be waiting until next summer for them to return and I told him how happy they make my life by returning every year. He danced a few seconds more, chattered rapidly to me, then suddenly he flew off out over the pasture. Every moment of that encounter I was present and open 100% to what was being exchanged between us. Magical moments cannot get within if one is not open and paying attention. I wish I could bottle that rush of awe that becomes you in those moments of magic. I feel so honored that they came to say good bye for now! I’m pretty sure they were happy too 🙂
Blessings to all with love ❤
