I have always loved looking at birds, the way they hold themselves, the way they take to the sky, captures my attention. They are quite the proper creature, quickly darting from place to place, all for a morsel of food. They gracefully take flight and soar high above us. The beauty of nature and all that surrounds us never ceases to impress me with its tiny miricals.

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all.
Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild.
So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you.
And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices,
but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
~ Stephen King (Shawshank Redemption)

“If I could fly, life would be amazing. But paraplegic people say the same thing about walking,
and I freaking hate walking. Somebody might ask me,
“Hey, do you want to go for a walk?” and I’ll reply, “Nope.
But I do want to have a seat on a chair with wheels and roll along with you.”
So maybe flight isn’t so cool after all. Possibly birds get pissed off they have to fly everywhere.” 
~Jarod Kintz (The Days of Yay are Here! Wake Me Up When They're Over.)



Penguin by linneaphoto

Yes, of course the last picture would be of a penguin! This is me we are talking about, after all.
They soar through the waves,
like a bird in the sky,
but they cannot fly,
much like me.
