My promise to myself today is to stop staying up and watching TV past the time I am beginning to fall asleep. What a good idea Karen. A shame you didn't think of that last night π
Your line, "Words are like spells," stayed with me, and then the squirrels quietly cast one of their own.
It struck me that they have no idea they're raiding a bird feeder. They don't hold that label. For them it's simply a hanging container full of delicious things.
The moment I noticed that, "raiding" softened into "being a squirrel", consistently persistent and honouring its own true nature.

I loved wandering into your garden.

Thank you for another gentle nudge to look again.
Hi Julia, it's been a long time since we connected. π
I love the reframe with the squirrels. Feel sorry they're pushing out the birds and wondering if any of them will get fed when we move. π
But no, the animals don't worry about any of this. They're in the moment, doing their thing. π
