Treasure the Question

Silent,  not our cat; but us as a family. How do you explain to an animal that a trip to a vet is not total abandonment? Silent, is how we were; all apart from our lovely cat who cried out in fear and pain. We did not need to speak cat to sense her feelings of abandonment, with her plaintiff, “How could you?”   Sometimes love causes pain, sometimes we hurt each other from our failure to communicate, maybe Tia speaks for us all, encouraging us all to communicate better.

What if we could fly like a bird, soaring high, coasting on the wind? By order of the government we are isolating, stuck indoors, protecting society. We can see the birds, the fat pigeons that wonder why less of us feed them nowadays. Is this bird also trapped by the pandemic? Searching for the tourists who used to feed it so well. Now the pigeons look at us through the window, and we look back. Who really is free these days? Our busy skies emptied of the planes that were always overhead, now filled with birds wondering where we all are. Let’s imagine are they encouraging us to look after not just them, but also each other? Then we will all soar high.
