i receive many compliments about the state of my cage which in truth i have made to look as nice as one can.and my little dainty walk has perfected over time from going round and round in tidy circles so as to not disrupt the seeds they sent. it is good that i practised my vocals daily for my voice is now strong and clear...

The Clod and the Pebble
-William Blake 1757-1827

"Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,

And builds a heaven in hell's despair."

So sung a little clod of clay,
Trodden with the cattle's feet;

But it's been a long long time since I consciously...

Saw Prince live a couple of nights ago, incredible performance. Besides a beautiful rendition of Foo Fighter's Best of You, the best song was Purple Rain. I always forget how much I love that song.

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see...
