This morning a bird flew into my room. I came back from the bathroom to get ready from work and it was just sitting their on my shelf. So I went to open all the windows as far as they would go so it had a better chance of escaping and it was then I noticed it was a tiny little red-breasted Robin. And I looked at it and it looks back without budging an inch.

It was one of those perfect moments of absolute clarity where you come close to touching on some piece of the supreme beauty of it all. Just for a second. Despite the cliche of the situation.

And then five minutes later it was gone.

That was my day.
