I wonder ...

Fear of flying?

illflyaway

This little robin sat on my porch for most of the day, pretty much ignoring the persistent voice of his mother, who sat in the treetop above.

Much as I sat sipping coffee, knowing there was work to be done on my Work In Progress,  but ignoring that insistent, persistent little voice that nagged,  Let’s get crackin.

Watching the robin, I had to wonder. Was he afraid. Or just feeling lazy?

Awesome way to spend the day. Maybe he just wasn't ready. Hopefully he overcame his failure of flight and flew. Liz

I think he was 'afraid'... but eventually would give in to that inevitable next step.

Thank you for sharing this experience, Jean. You've made me enter into it and look at the event from the baby robin's perspective. Love and best wishes,

Regis

I think I understand that little robin very well. Sometimes just sitting, cleaning sinks or mopping a floor is easier than doing what I'm supposed to.

I'll vote that he was sitting in innocence, just being there, not enough sense yet to be afraid or lazy, just like we ought to be part of the time instead of letting our business take us. Enjoy your coffee and imagination time, Jean. Interesting little bird...........Jerry

Jean,

I prefer the little bird's stunt to remain an unexplained mystery for us to ponder about. God Bless my friend.

Sincerely,
Regino
