It was one of my favorite chores, filling up the bird feeder that set tall and centered in our backyard. I'd grab the big bag of birdseed from the shed, haul it through the grass, and gruffly scoop the seeds into my large plastic cup. I'd have to stand on my tippy toes to be able to reach the opening, but I knew the seeds that fell would either be salvaged by birds or grow into flowers. The bird feeder was frequented by red cardinals, and sometimes black crows we would scare away, but mostly sweet and pretty birds that brought song, life, and natural beauty to whomever was doing dishes at the kitchen sink. 

Can you feel it? The warmth of the Spring air, the inevitable blooming of flowers and plants all around you, the fresh green sprouts coming out of decomposing matter. It's all potential. Potential to grow, bloom, and grow, in need of someone to tend and care for it, and that is you, my friend.
