Listening
Meet "Red", our resident Cardinal. This painting was inspired by a photograph I took of him finding food for his young 'uns this Spring. I discovered that the male cardinal feeds the hatchlings while the mama cardinal moves on to build a new nest for the next brood. He's tilting his head to listen for worms. Can you imagine having to listen to a worm crawl to get fed? How quiet you would have to get to allow that to happen. Quiet in the mind, heart, and soul. And if you took the opportunity to get THAT quiet, what would you hear?
