Autumn rain carries the music
Of endings and beginnings,
Tenderly and strongly…

Before we speak, let our words pass through three gates:

* Is it true?
* Is it kind?
* Is it necessary?

In our ever polarising world, learning that speaking less, and only when necessary, makes us stronger individuals. Saying less helps water our inner calm. 😊

We almost never see a rose-breasted grosbeak. They mostly pass us by during migration, but an occasional one will find our bird feeders. #birds
