...I twitter away

Welcome! This is a blog about birds. Birds sitting on roofs, in trees, singing in the night. Its about people too!

"First, as the sparrow likes high places, so the soul rises to the highest contemplation.

Second, as the sparrow turns its face toward the wind, the soul turns toward the 'Spirit of Love', which is God.'

Third, the soul is solitary in contemplation, as the sparrow is alone on the housetop.

Fourth, as the sparrow sings sweetly, so does the soul sing praises of the 'sweetest love.'

And finally john says the sparrow is of 'no particular colour,' ( Gerald May - The dark night of the Soul)
