Returning
I've been away from home a week
and got sucked in
to others' mind sets
even on returning it's been
three long days until the din
of others' focus and adopting a caring role
has been seen through
Phew!
I'd forgotten I'm unfettered, obligation-less and whole!
This wrote itself and immediately afterwards there was a kerfuffle in the cherry tree outside my window. A couple of pigeons who've become friends decided to nest there - precarious and a bummer in terms of not being able to strim underneath them, but, hey! So tender with each other, so careful with their choice of tiny twigs to build their home.
This is exactly how my 'milk family' (as opposed to human blood) nourish me. The link between pigeon and returning? On reminding myself of the symbolism of pigeon (almost always via Ted Andrews' out of print Animal Speak) I read:
'Pigeon keynote: Return to the Love and Security of Home'.
