I’m brand new to Substack and just took at stab at my first article yesterday, it’s about a new thing that I have found brings me tremendous joy. I’ve been forming a relationship with a crow in my neighborhood. I’ve been too paralyzed to enjoy my usual Creative outlets - gardening and visual arts - partly due to anxiety paralysis as a highly sensitive person who feels all of the collective grief in the world right now, and partly because of a retinal detachment and subsequent loss of functional vision in my left eye… it’s unbelievable how much this one bird has given me. And I’m learning a new path to gratitude in trying to give back…
This is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I feel the same way about the tree blooming in our front yard. I'm finding such delight every morning opening the blinds and witnessing it's becoming. It's budding red leaves from the top down that are slowly transitioning to green. It's left me wondering if in the fall the leaves will turn red again before they release. A return to the beginning. That would make sense to me. I guess I'll just have to wait and see :)
