How might it be to sit in this quiet? To drift? To dream? To imagine?
To be fully visible and completely invisible all at once and the same time?

I wondered.

I wondered about their significance.
In the scheme of this great grand universe...would anyone take notice if they disappeared?

I wondered about their magnificence.

Some consider them to be kind...loyal...brave.
They never leave a one of their own behind. They fiercely protect their young. They compassionately defend their communities.
The sound of their voices in flight is hauntingly beautiful. Seasonal symphonies of uplifted song.

I wondered what different we might all see....if we might choose to see different?

This - I concluded - is how it might be to truly sit in this quiet.
To make space.
To allow. To observe. To listen.
To notice.
Our thoughts come....and they go.

I wondered.

What might it be to be them? To sit in this quiet?
