“Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.”

When I passed a tree with a charm of Goldfinches they flew up chattering & took a turn across the field before settling back on the tree. I observed & eventually they let me come so close I could touch the trunk, the birds just a metre away. Magic. They love their tree more than they fear me.
