Windy Weirdo

1 Reply

The birds have been at it since they woke me up this morning. Not to mention the gusty wind!”

I saw many along my walking path today. Among other birds and people, as it was a perfect sunny day. The wind would pick up and the occasional tree branch fell in my path. I felt it was time to scurry along, as the gusts were picking up exponentially. I found a perfect quote to keep me pondering. Walking is definitely for thinking. And sitting and thinking usually makes me sit around second guessing myself, overthinking what I said and how it would be interpreted to some. And all weekend I wanted to delete my website/blog, and burn my writings. Just forget it. Then I would say, but wait, that is the voice of another person who didn’t believe in me. I believe in myself now! I am not a piece of trash. But anyway, I found this quote:

“Walking, I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.” -Linda Hogan (b. 1947) Native American Writer

I wish I had slowed down a little bit more, but as the wind was gusty and I was worried about all the falling limbs, I should have noticed it more. What were the limbs saying to me? WATCH OUT. A warning from my ancestors? I think it’s just the wind breaking the dormant limbs, if you’re a realist. No, it’s just be cautious. It’s okay to be cautious. And to second guess yourself, until you believe in yourself. Until you find your voice. All those that walk beside me, that I cannot see are holding me close and letting me know that I AM Love, and that I can go on spreading that love through my art as long as I know that it comes deep within me and not outwardly, for acceptance or validation. Because anything that comes from the heart is meant to blow away in the wind and catch a falling limb anyway. Love is giving it away all the time to everyone, spirit or living, it is not to be coveted at all.

Visited by a Hawk

So today at work as I was just putting some cardboard in the baler, I turned around to see a hawk fly onto a pallet jack! I got a picture of it, but we sort of stared at each other for a minute before he started to fly up into the ceiling. Here is my rendition of him.

Hawk Buddy

Of course, since I have been obsessed with drawing birds this month, to be visited unexpectedly (even if it was unintentional Birdo) by one has got me so thrilled!! I am sure there is some good omen to it right? I’m not sure, but obviously he was looking for mice (or kittens) outside the dumpster and wandered in the vents in the ceiling.

But it still is cool. I hope the Hawk Buddy got out safely. Unless I come in tonight and he’s terrorizing the night crew. Aaaahhhh!!! Or even better Sounds of Hawk Shrieks everywhere!!

He even made a small shriek sound in the rafters.

Here is actual Hawk Buddy

Another weirdo birdo for your day. Along with a quote. I believe this will be my intention coming into this year.

I did not hear a bird at midnight (silly me, what bird sings at midnight except owls! but one can dream) but I did hear wind chimes, as the wind was picking up last night. So a little bit of wind song then! ringing, clinking, singing a new song.

Unleash Your Weird Bird

Squauk

Unleash your weird bird, your weird bird voice that is. Nevermind however loud and obnoxious a bird is, or however lovely and strange, it keeps on squawking. I realized I spelled squawk wrong but went with it. Because I unleashed it, it’s going to sound and misspell as well as it pleases. And it has just found a bunch of maggots so this bird is happy. Do birds eat maggots? Probably crows do! Damnit it should have been meal worms!

Weirdo Birdo! Maggots are gross. Sorry I didn’t mean to make this a gross bird, it was supposed to be kind of lovely but now you add maggots and he’s definitely strange indeed! We’ll see if this Weirdo Birdo sticks around on the Musho Blogo for a while.
