Crushed Colorful Bird
Even in Death There Sometimes is Beauty
I thought I had gone to the right place for an appointment. As it turns out, I actually was in the wrong place for the appointment...
but in exactly the right place to preserve this beautiful little bird's memory.
I was at a medical center and came out a different door than I went in when I saw this bright splash of color on the pavement in the parking lot.
I was walking right past it -- and so were others -- apparently oblivious to the gruesome spectacle at their feet...
the untimely demise of this little creature, who probably moments before had been singing a pretty song and
foraging for food. Going about his simple little life until it was extinguished by one of us...
