“My” gazebo. 6:30 AM
I’ve never been here this early,
Waking with the birds’ morning praises.
I listen.
No Merlin app to tell me whose song.
The Robin dominates – is she a morning person?
A dove “coo coos” under a tree.
Blue Jay calls from afar (when will he draw near?).
A chipping sparrow, cheep cheep.
Red Wing Blackbird’s screech.
Sweet Carolina Wren with her endless song.
Mockingbird displaying her diverse repertoire.
“Caw caw caw”: the crow calls
“Chip chip,” a song sparrow, as if warming up her voice.
Some may liken this to instruments tuning up before a performance.
But I hear the symphony.
This is your day awakening, Lord.
I love beginning today’s pilgrimage with you by my side.
Pondering Christ 
Lovely meditation! A symphony of birds singing and praising God for the new day. May we learn from the birds and do the same.
