Privilege
Among the tangled white branches of blossoming
plum this morning, eleven chickadees, seven sparrows, five rust-bellied
phoebes, and one little wren. Feathered, small, exquisitely vulnerable,
none of them are singing, "I am a victim," for that is not a song. All
of them are singing, "I am privileged to be alive."
