Conversation With a Bird

Western Bluebird, Female

Here is a recent conversation with a bird.

“Do you enjoy being a bird?” I asked.

“I wasn’t given a choice,” she replied.

“Do you regret that?”

“Feeling regret is a choice. And I’m too busy being a bird for thoughts like that.”

“So what do you think about?”

“I accept who I am. And then I do my best with what I have.”

“Then are you happy?”

“Being happy or unhappy is another choice.”

“So which do you choose?”

“Neither.”

“Why?”

“Because each takes conscious effort.”

“Then what do you have?”

“Peace.”

I write conversations, like this one, in my journal. It’s a powerful thinking process.

And yes, I talk to birds; I talk to flowers, and I talk to trees. In fact, I talk to anything that’s alive.

I tell birds they’re beautiful. I thank flowers for blooming. And I ask old trees for wisdom.

I even say “Hello” to lizards.

That’s because every relationship depends upon a conversation. And I’m having a conversation with Nature.

Much success,

Steve Kaye
