Standing on the balcony of our apartment I saw the most amazing thing: birds from all over the area were flying against the evening sky. The silhouettes of these birds were beautiful on the cold gray sky. They were not flying in a pattern but rather all heading in the same general direction South, perhaps beginning their migratory journey for the coming Winter, I do not know. I’ve heard of animals knowing when danger is coming before humans are able to discern these things and wondered if there was something else they might be flying away from…
It is almost sunset now and the birds have either stopped their travels for the night or they have all already passed us here now. Sitting here in dark room looking out the window, Winter feels not too far away. It is quiet now and time to reflect and wonder.
