So we have been keeping a food bowl and water bowl for the hungry and thirsty birds in our terrace garden.

I have  seen some occasional birds come in to drink but every day there is a family of squirrels who somehow have made their feeding zone.

So this morning I chanced upon a pigeon carefully perched on the edge of the bowl watching the surrounding environment…

Apprehension & trepidation are the words that comes up when I saw this lone bird feeding for the first time. So much fear and anxiety before dipping her beak into the bowl. So unlike our regular daredevil squirrels dashing into the bowl, this one was mighty cautious and careful and yet so very graceful in her ways…
Watching her I sensed how much she values her freedom. And how much she is relying on her wings to take off at any moment and fly free.
After all in every life, the spirit of freedom aspires to live & fly free in safety, peace & liberation.
Here’s to creating safe spaces for life to coexist, thrive and flourish.
