3. I always enjoy the connection of all things big and small

yesterday I was talking to a friend and how the smallest of birds are symbols of hope and life across multiple traditions. You just added one more.

These small birds are seen as those who chose the sainted or holy among us.

And the fact that it was good Friday, and as Idda Briggs reminded us, the end of Purim, there are symbols attached to all this, I say this as the most skeptical of people you have ever met. It was a beautiful and yes, even magical moment. We should appreciate these moments as a connection to the nature we pretend to be above off.
