Favorite Quote:
&quot;We&#039;re all a little weird, and life&#039;s a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.&quot;<br /> -Dr. Seuss

The blue jay
Winked at me
As it hopped happily
Across the worn forest trail
I beheld it’s beauty;
Its dusk feathers
Bright in the spots of sunlight

Then it started to sing.
So wonderful and sweet
I realized it sang
The true song of my soul.
I smiled.
It was a happy song.
It was free.
That day a blue jay taught me
To sing
