🐦SUNDAY LESSONS FROM A SPARROW🐦In a noisy world,it's easy to feel our words are drowned in a cacophony.We may even feel the urge to scream in order to be heard.The sparrow reminds us of a truth written by Sufi poet Rumi who wisely advised us to raise our words,not our voice. 🐦

🦉ON WINGS OF LOVE🦉Flaco flew higher while on earth because of our love for him & the hope & joy he gave us owlnables us to fly higher. As Laurie Bain Wilson writes,"In many ways,although he was living in the wild,Flaco had become everyone's favorite pet.

Spreading Wings of Love for Flaco

Flaco was the perfect ambassador for New York City — a nocturnal soul living freely in the city that never sleeps. He touched my heart when I'd visit him in one of 'his' trees in Central Park.
