Notes
Was going to see if the trail by the new high school was still in existence but found a song sparrow sitting on the trail mile 3. Picked it up and it settled comfortably in my hand so I ran back to the car with it trying to run as smooth as I could. It seemed to be ok with it. Experience told me it was dying and at my house I put it in a cage, gave it a sip of water with a straw and some food but it was dead by morning. Not sure why I bother...but it is not thought about at the time, it's just done and what I do.
I have given the opposite out in advise which is thought derived from experience...and for me it is not the truth. It is not up to me to abandon a life because of what I have seen and therefore predict into now. Life brought me to him so I may see that clearly. There is no making of a decision...just an answering of yes. And do what I do...even if all in vain...it never is in truth. Only in thought.
This goes beyond the story of the song sparrow and I have gotten the message.
