Little Creatures

I had a cappuccino this morning.
Our country is in a lockdown state, due to Covid restrictions, so you cannot go and consume anything inside the public places, there is not such option, only take away.

So I had a cappuccino, a croissant and I moved out the café. I sat on a cement bench, in the nearby garden, to take a moment, consume my coffee, and allow myself some personal time, before heading to work. I sat there, posed the coffee on the cement surface, and looking around I noticed the garden, I added a little bit of sugar, then I unfolded the croissant. I spotted two little sparrows in the bush, they peeked out.

The simple sight of them was joy, they simply made me crack a little smile. I couldn’t resist, I picked sat the cappuccino down and picked a crumble, bent forward while still sitting there cross legged and tried to invite them closer with little kisses. They were scared, they looked scared but curious.
Isn’t nature beautiful?
I tried to speak to them with my mind. Aren’t we silly ? I did that without even noticing, or thinking about the sense of doing such thing. But I did it, I wanted to talk to them. We do that all the time, I think we do that all the time, silly, or maybe magical.

I gently dropped the crumb, in their direction. I got lucky, it landed close. The gesture scared them, but only a little. They came back, the bolder one, the other one kept leaping behind. The bolder one picked it and flew a couple of meters away, they shared it.

I almost had tears. As soon as it happened I looked forward to do it again. I did it again, it all happened again, with little variations on the theme. I needed to have a better crumb, and I wished the shy one to pick one.

I could write about it a lot. Something so simple, yet so beautiful.
Do people see such beauties? They certainly do, it is impossible not to see it.

Two little sparrows, the most common of the bird, they live too though.
Maybe they are jumping around now, happy, the bold and the shy.
Tears.

life is beautiful.

sometimes we feel like we want to quit it, switch ourselves off, yet life is beautiful.
