Birdsong in the desert

I’ve been thinking a lot about birds lately.

I had a meeting with the rector at the church I want to join. On the way out, he noted my tattoo.

“Is that a robin?”

“Yes,” I said. “I got it before moving to Arizona. Robins migrate if the environment they’re in isn’t right anymore. If they can’t thrive.” (There are other reasons it’s a robin, but that’s the one that was most relevant to the conversati

Katina’s Quotes

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.”

“If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.”
― Oscar Wilde
