My Little Chickadee

"Life is strong and fragile. It’s a paradox… It’s both things, like quantum physics: It’s a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists together." — Joan Jett

The most challenging human condition is to live a life that's humble, fragile, vulnerable, giving, and seemingly weak. Yet lives each day, like there is no tomorrow: brave, strong, patient, tolerant, trusting, loving, kind, selfless, and resourceful. 

Great truth is heard from silent, tiny voices.

Thank you for the oneness of imperfection shared by all the members of our human flock.

Thanksgiving is a time to stop and acknowledge all of the gifts and abundance we are surrounded by. A time to recognize the mystery of our very existence. Rene Magritte said, "One cannot speak about the mystery, one must be seized by it." All that we need is here and now providing everything if we just open our eyes and see. Like this thanks-giving, black capped chickadee, if we simply live in the joy, and trust...there will be berries in winter. 

Spread your wings and fly. According to Joan Chittister, "Life is not about knowing exactly what we're meant to do. It's about doing what must be done that makes of our lives a song."

Find anything, but find something to sing about. Today I give thanks...and most especially for you, my blog followers.

In The Hood

"In The Hood" 6x6" oil on gessobord

I have been having so much fun painting birds. I decided to buy a serious bird feeder, so I could get to know some of the locals in my hood. Sunday morning, I put the feeder up and filled it to the brim with bird seed and went inside to paint. When I peeked out the window several minutes later... to my total delight... there were were a pair of titmice munching down like they hadn't eaten for a week. Moments later these happy patrons became dining companions of this little Black Capped Chickadee; he was dressed to the hilt including his masked Zorro disguise. I nearly jumped out of my skin I was so excited!!! This was the first time I'd ever seen one that I recall? Funny how, until I started painting birds, with the exception of avifauna (cardinals, blue jays, robins, sparrows and crows), I was never able to recognize or identify any of the other birds. What a gift this has been as a whole new world has opened before my eyes. I wonder what other priceless treasures I am blind to in the world which surrounds me?

Today a cute cardinal couple discovered the free handouts and hung about most of the early morning. All was well until Suzy squirrel got wind of the grand opening of my fast food avian diner and made a total pig out herself...what a mess!

Thanks for dropping by for the feast today.
