Being bird : trying to find some common nature

by Avia, January 31st, 2012.

An homage to an essay that always felt more like a poem to me.

When a bird is raised in a cage its entire life, it will not escape even if the cage is open. Because it has become accustomed to being trapped.

—Maybe I'm a bird...

"...but I knew that the sky was where humankind had thrown everything it coudln't grasp. God, the dead, infinity, and UFOs they all lived in that unknown place. Sharing it in a civilized manner so they could all fit."

The Little Bird's Song

A little bird, with feathers brown, Sat singing on a tree; The song was very soft and low, But sweet as it could be.

The people who were passing by, Looked up to see the bird That made the sweetest melody That ever they had heard.

But all the bright eyes looked in vain; Birdie was very small, And with his modest, dark-brown coat, He made no show at all.

"Why, father," little Gracie said "Where can the birdie be? If I could sing a song like that, I'd sit where folks could see."

"I hope my little girl will learn A lesson from the bird, And try to do what good she can, Not to be seen or heard.

"This birdie is content to sit Unnoticed on the way, And sweetly sing his Maker's praise From dawn to close of day.

"So live, my child, all through your life, That, be it short or long, Though others may forget your looks, They'll not forget your song." by Anonymous
