Three Birds On a Power Line

After a rainy morning while admiring the sky I came across three birds standing on a power line. I glazed at the birds who seemed to be in calm conversation without a worry in the world. I thought about the complexities of life and how what was so complex could also be so simple. My mind could only imagine what each of the birds was thinking...


There is no better life than a life of freedom. We took advantage of the rain, prowled all morning, and now we sit on top of the world with a full belly.


I do not worry about what I will wear nor do I work long hours. I  can live anywhere I desire. In fact, I have many homes, some I have constructed myself out of sticks, grass, and whatever material I could gather, yet others are giant structures old and new built of stone or wood.

I can travel as I please and I travel light. Sometimes I travel alone and other times very well accompanied. I visit different cities, towns, states, and can even cross national borders. I do not need a passport nor am I classified a foreigner. I am not questioned regarding the purpose of my trip and quite frankly I fly under the radar.





 I do not like to brag but I eat like a king. I have a lot to choose from when I'm in the big cities. Humans seem to throw away a lot of delightful food and all I need is a bite or two. Even in the smallest of cities or in the countryside I do not see a great recession. I am not picky and can dine on the most humble meal of seeds, worms, and insects. I also have unlimited acres of farmland consisting of crops, fruit trees, and berry bushes.

And they all agreed, "What more could we possibly need?"
