Rethink

When hard times come and essentials get scarce, birds need to rethink and make changes to survive. When it comes to building nests, they may have to use twigs instead of leaves and change their diet from mosquitos to worms. If there is not enough of any of these things, they will fly to a distant land where there is plenty to be found. Our lives can change due to a broken relationship, an accident, a death, an illness, abuse, moving house, crime, a loss of a job, or in my case – a machete attack. It doesn’t help to spend too much time wishing life would go back to what it was. Birds teach us nothing is permanent, and the sooner we can rethink, the better we will cope with what is ahead.
