I was fascinated by this goldfinch feasting on thistle seeds. Back and forth he went from one plant to another. In his excitement, an occasional seed slipped from his beak. And I had a realization.
In his dining experience, this little bird was effortlessly contributing to the well-being of others. Some of the fallen seeds provided food for small creatures who discovered the bounty on the ground. Others planted themselves in the soil to become the thistles of next year.
As I watched the little bird, I had a wondering. How is my life contributing to the welfare of others? And what can I do differently to help forward life on our beloved planet?
Very big questions…inspired by a beautiful little bird.
