  1. Ah, I think we all do hope that we spark joy in others! This brings us joy in return. Smiles.

  3. It is my definite opinion that YES, you DO spark joy. I wonder about all the treasures that are embedded in nests, fun to imagine.

  5. It's as coin toss, either way, LOL. I really like this piece! Especially the coin in an unexpected nest. A magpie might enjoy coming home to that!

  6. I think there is a spark of joy there... and maybe they are sometimes kept a while as treasures in the nest.

  12. Why must it be one or the other? Sometimes we spark joy, sometimes we start fires....

  13. Maybe you can be both..a coin in a birds nest would be a wonderful treasure ..and we all have needs...

  14. I wonder whom this voice is asking? I hope it's a rhetorical question--I'll read it that way to empower it.

  15. Some questions cannot be answered by oneself, but must be put to others. This little piece sparked a quick flash of joy.

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
