Bird Nest Heart

I watched from outside the abandoned building as the barn owl dive-bombed the small bird. Even though I know it is the circle of life, and the owl, with it's 2 babies, had to eat ... I still felt myself rooting for the bird trying desperately to escape.

The owl's wing hit a piece of hanging wire, and she missed her prey - which promptly flew out a broken window, and the owl swooped away to find her dinner elsewhere.

I let out the breath I had been holding, and watched as bits of grass drifted down from the beams far overhead - the bird had been interrupted while making a nest.

She survived the day, but her nest did not.

Instead, it was left on a pile of debris ... a heart with a story I would never have known had I not been there.

Bird Nest Heart

Someone had knocked this bird's nest to the ground ...
Fortunately, the birds were already long gone.

I still felt a little sad ... until I noticed that the center of the bird's nest was shaped like a heart! Do you see it?

FRIEND UPDATE: My friend Nadine's husband Wally, who underwent brain surgery 4 times in the past 2 weeks, is FINALLY done with surgery ... the problems corrected ... in fact - he got out of the hospital last night! He was not expected to get out for up to another week, but he got well so fast, they sent him home early!!!

Thank you all for your prayers and healing thoughts for Wally.
IT WORKED!!!
