Of Crows and Magpies

 Matthew 6:26-27

²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life^[a]? https://www.biblegateway.com

Nope. Worrying indeed shortens our life. Wish we could be like the birds, but we’re in a capitalist society where the privileged few play with supply and demand.

After a week of heat warnings, this mild morning sent me back to my long walks with foraging crows and magpies, cawing and hopping on the ground blessed with the recent rainfall and crumbs left by night prowlers. Squirrels scurried up trees turning into fall colors like they couldn't wait for the 22^nd. Neither can I. MLJ/01/09/2025/LongWalks
