birdology

free bird. song bird. nesting bird.

I find myself somewhat akin to birds. either that or envious of them.

constant travel. ease of motion. ease of exit. able to make a home most anywhere, from anything, with whomever has the prettiest song or best dance. observant. people watchers. early risers.

that's a life i could lead.

i've always thought of different aspects of my personality as different kinds of birds. or how people characterize them. the know-it-all, bespeckled, cartoon owl. the singing meadowlark. the flashy, yellow goldfinch. the "type A" woodpecker. the migratory patterns of the cardinal.

and apparently lofty speech.

so i sit in my little bird's nest in manhattan, people-watching from my perch, nesting, and waiting for someone colorful to walk by and do a new dance.
