What if birds worry–

Gathering seeds into barns

Chic as pinterest

I have a long list of worries and they range in severity from about threat level “will the avocados be ripe enough?” all the way up to “is another world war imminent and will any of us survive?” 

I know worry is not productive– it doesn’t help or change anything. It doesn’t add a single cubit to our stature. I know all about the birds of the air and the lilies of the fields. And, yet still..

Maybe I paint so many birds as a way to tap the breaks on worry. I just can’t seem to do both at the same time. 

I hope you enjoy today’s little cardinal. She’s thinking about how to organize her seeds by color in the new she-shed she just built.
