Wings to fly free....and the tiniest of feet on which to balance.

I marveled at their ability...at their agility....at their amazing grace.

I wondered about their southbound journey - from where it is they began...and where it is that their path will take them. Hard to imagine these tiny beings traveling such distances. Hard to imagine these tiny beings traveling anywhere at all.

And yet - they will.

The waning light...the changing leaves...the birds. It's definitely October. They know it. I know it. We all know.

We're here - perched on these wires - only for this one moment.

It's time. It's that time. It's that time to let go.
