Thank you Julie and Susan - I loved the mashing of words for this piece as “walk” and “fall” just weren’t enough to speak to the sacred beauty of this invitation.
You have been teaching me how to bird for a long time from your poems. You also been teaching me how to dog and lots of other things. Thank you, Professor and friend!
This feels less like a poem about birds and more like a lesson in paying attention. I especially loved the gentle progression from seeing to naming, and from naming to belonging. Sometimes wonder begins exactly where we learn to slow down. Thank you for this beautiful piece.

Absolutely. I miss you and so appreciate your poetry.
Love this! I was observing the birds closely yesterday, and wondered what it would be like.
Thanks Sam 🌻

Thanks so much Laura🌻
This was really touching.
Teach me how to bird

Thank you Ana Lisa 💛
Isn't it wonderful to know how to bird? Thank you for explaining it so beautifully and evocatively!
One of my favorite things Kris; you too?
Since I was a child!
Lucky you, I started birding in my 40’s. Since then, I’ve always wondered how it would have changed my life had I started as a child.
Just beautiful, Holly! Thank you. I, too, join words together: wrensong, heartmind and others.
Thanks Amrita - it’s fun and in this case, helped to set the tone 💛
