You are like a bird out-of-doors.......

"You are like a bird out-of-doors that keeps looking for nourishment and finding it. You are a spiritual seeker and finder. You look everywhre, in printed materials, in words from the mouths of people, beauty in natural settings. And you look and listen within yourself. There you find the best because it is part of you and is intended especially for you at this time.

Enjoy your on-going converstion with the Divine presence in you. Note how your prayers directed to the Presence improve with time. They are less concerned with guilt over past troubles, and more directed toward being in the right place, internally, in the present moment."
