Being Home (March 20, 2009)

I was looking out of my kitchen window, listening to a familiar sound from outside. I gazed my eyes through the hanging plants and saw a youthful bird singing and a nest she is guarding. "Ahh! a new tenant in my garden! How lovely!"

I had been blog hopping and I had been reading tales of woes and tales of joys. I am touched by stories of love and saddened by separations. In all those entries, there was always a change, a beginning or an end. In all those entries, there was the presence of something or the absence of someone. In many of those entries, lessons can be learned.

Lucas' writings of melancholic rhymes and lyrical passages are beyond expectations while Kris' entries of his vocal honesty are marks of a courageous and confident spirit. I am their new tenant as I visit their blogs every time there is something written. I wait for them and I enjoy the learning and bask at the revelations. Witty, funny, creative and thought provoking, those two authors are simply gems in their own rights.

And when the mother bird had finally given life to those eggs, she will find another to mate and seek another place to stay. However, the bird nest will be there for another new tenant or for the mother bird to return. Though I read others to further my writing skills, I will always be awed by these two prolific writers, very much younger but very talented indeed.
