| Red Cardinal |
Yesterday afternoon, while making Christmas dinner, I heard a loud thud at the dining room window and instinctively knew what it was.
I went outside and saw the red cardinal lying in a pile of leaves. I walked over and gently picked it up not knowing if it was dead or alive.
As I lifted it up it showed signs of life as I cradled it in my arms, providing warmth.
One of its feet was crumpled and I straightened it out, all the time talking in a soothing voice to calm it down.
After a few minutes when I knew it had gained enough strength, I positioned it on my arm.
It was still unsteady as it recovered, its little black eye constantly blinking as it looked up at me.
A few more minutes and I knew it was ready to take off.
In an instant it flew away.
To explain how I felt after this experience, I just really can't put into words.
I think you know what I mean.
