SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

This gorgeous little creature with its extraordinary ability to seek out the most unusual of places to nest, temporarily anesthetizes us to our everyday worries to make sense of it all.

"He has lived this little thing in the grassy woods of spring and seen the starry hours, the springing of the flowers and the many things that pass in the forests of the grass, and in his times of silence heard the talking bee and ladybird, not a word will he disclose and not a word of all he knows" and so: It is fitting that just outside a busy pub the tiny protective parents know, they are able to trust all those who come and go. "For there in that ashtray a brown nest is seated and her four little eggs the mother keeps heated and while they stand watching her... safe in each egg are the bird's little babies. Soon the frail eggs shall chip and upspringing, make all the Spring woods come alive with their singing."

What a wonder and privilege it is that this family of Blue tits can so trustingly make this their home. For those who yearn for all we have lost of the England we once knew this story is so heartwarming and says something good about English people today.
