The Bird Chirping

I got to the top of the mountain. My body was pulsing with an inherent pleasure. Not pride or arrogance but an internal gratitude in the form of actual satisfaction. My body said, “THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!,” in no uncertain terms.

   No drug, no drink, no act performed with someone else could replicate this feeling because it was from my core. It recognized all the things I laid aside to get there. I was completely in tune. 

    I stopped the music and took off my headphones and sat there limp. Let go of all the tension in my body. Maybe I looked crazy but so what? Everyone is crazy. 

I heard a bird chirping loudly, or was it a high pitched “KRRRRRR”ing? English can’t do justice to the extremely impressive cycle of sounds that this creature worked through in a matter of a few minutes. I wanted to know what he/she was saying. To me it sounded like each was a very distinct type of asking, directive, statement or reaching out. 

I began pondering how birds could innately understand this wordless language they have going with each other. 

    Then the contrast of nature and human ways occurred to me in such a distasteful arrival. The mechanical rules we have set up (written and unwritten) about how relationships should operate. ‘Careers.’ The detritus of capitalism. Peacocking. All of this distracts from soulful living. Honest communication. If one is not living honestly they are in hell. A hell they silently purchased but to which they became oblivious over time. How do they get out? 

  Grace, prayer and a diligent, fiercely active relationship with God and Goddess. That’s what it all comes down to in the end, isn’t it? When you allow every conversation to travel its natural extent, with no time restriction- it comes down to the Force(s) Unseen. 

May they bless you in an overwhelming and sustained flow of Divine Mercy and Goodness.
