…..takes patience,

a willingness to wait for the blessing of the bird you seek

but accepting the possibility,

perhaps the probability,

that you might not be blessed this time.

For the long sought Indigo Bunting

might be doing Gods will…

somewhere else.

Perhaps in his flight over your neighbors yard

or over the next hill

just a mile south…

So, for you, it’s just not gonna be today.

But the thrill of expectation

will be the boon you seek for now

and your joy is in the knowing by faith

that the world is a torrent of gifts from the Divine

and from this moment on,

spread out into the far reaches of forever,

they will be yours.

And you will see a flash of indigo

in time,

soon enough!
