Funny how my childhood tendencies to daydream have never left me….

Reprimanded for being lost in thought against what was being taught……

Occasionally I would be ask to share what I found so enchanting……and would tell them in great detail,  and then it was over……..the teacher has lost control and everyone was trying to make their way to the windows…

”Watch the Robin as she builds her nest, how carefully she placed each piece….. she works the leaves between the twigs and puts moss in the bottom so it will be soft for her chicks…..”

The teacher acquiesced and the remainder of the period was spent watching the endeavor……

I was constantly relocated away from the windows but it didn’t matter…..after many parental meetings and threats, I managed to curtail my excursions…..but the desire to learn more of the working of the world has never left me……

the Robins still come in many different forms……and I take great pleasure in watching them live……

As time passes we leave many things behind…… the things we keep……. Are the gists of who we are

Always looking………
