It is not always sunny on Sunshine Lane. Last night we noticed Bert’s right wing was not working well. She falls over so often that we think she injured herself, or maybe that is why she was found on the ground in the first place. We went to bed feeling sad. But today she has a little more mobility, so maybe she will heal. She is maturing, each day she does new things. She has been chirping and chipping, climbing, moving all around spastically. She spends most of the time in her house. We don’t want to injure her further, so we are trying not to right her when we find her on her back, she does eventually flip back. She loves however to be out of the cage. She chirps and preens and fluffs and is freaking adorable. Today’s video shows the highs and lows of her daily experiences. Regardless, Ruby and I decided no matter what happens with her, we feel lucky to have been able to extend her life and enjoy her. Tom has not gotten attached.

In other news, Ruby cut my hair. She used the clippers. It looks great considering our various handicaps.

Our daily 5-minute meditation.

Meditation

Show up to Love and fear, be open, present, show up to what is. When we meet ourselves at our center, our now, for this moment we are free. Pack a new bag, bring our best, leaving our shadow to be what it is, in peace. The truth need not be cruel. Walk forward in a state of grace, free from the bondage our past and future.
