Life matters

This is the 'youngest' chick, so tiny it's amazing. trying to get a clearer picture but the flash on the camera is not helping.

The little things (pardon the pun) make a difference in our every day living. This little fella has gotten me really excited and the lunar new year having passed makes it more interesting.

A new life is always seen as the beginning of whatever - it's supposed to be auspicious - i hope so, because clearing up the nest box is rather tedious. But as with all 'life' it's fragile, that's what this chick represents - we never realise when another life gets wounded through word and/or deed, which could hurt rather badly. And as with this little life in my hand, we should always cherish life so that it can grow to fill another's world with sunshine.

Things do not always work out the way we want them to, but sometimes, it's better for us to accept the bad, along with the good and move along. It may damage us somewhat, but we still move along and perhaps some day, we'll be able to be less damaging to ourselves and focus on what's more important. Life has to matter.
