For me, companionship is human and far more often, avian.

We are not meant to be alone

Let us go together

You do not have pass through this life

On rugged individualism, or with those who echo you or your beliefs

Choose your companions wisely

The crows, the chickadees, the Canada geese honking in morning light and under moon

They are not solitary

They are flocks, murders, a banditry

To earn the company of the birds is

To always have a brood or a wisdom, a cast, a bevy, a bouquet

Love this, Heidi! Seems to resonate with Mary Oliver on the appreciation for the geese. There’s something so whole about knowing “your place in the family of things” to quote her -- our kinship to creatures

Thanks Becca! I am driving to Florida to visit my mother in law and finding joy in these prompts. Nature helps me feel grounded, even when on the move!
