My writing desk faces out two windows and across the yard. Sometimes the sun glares off the glass.
Three loud explosive sounds startled me this morning. Three dark objects appeared about 36-inches from my eyes. Two dropped. One flew away.
Three adolescent robins mistook my office window for clear sky.
One rebounded flying away.
One landed upright with mouth open, panting.
The third lay on its side trying to recover.
We sometimes are so certain that we see clearly only to be knocked seriously aside. Sometimes we need that shock to return us to awareness.
(Eventually the two robins recovered and flew away.)
