My Summer of the Catbird
Nature has a language that we have forgotten but carry in our
unconscious minds. Beyond our even knowing, we are called along with the
birds to listen to our inner seasons and longings. As author David G.
Haskell has said, "In the voices of birds, we hear augury, portent,
prophesy. We are drawn across boundaries into other places, other
times." In this beautiful story about a Gray Catbird, we find how one
person, emerging from a period of deep grieving allowed herself to
listen to the language of birds and to be drawn into a deep relationship
that led to an inner transformation.
