The power of community

Mother Nature brought us a lovely start to the day with a pink and orange filled sky. The striped sun came up as a fishing boat was passing. The light breeze and calm ocean added to the serenity of the morning.

The flock of seagulls and a solo skimmer flew in to watch the sunrise. It was strange he was the only skimmer hanging out with the seagulls. Skimmers are cool birds, when they talk they sound like a barking dog and have soulful eyes that speak volumes. They are usually shy but this one walked over to say hello.

When I said to him I could see the sunrise through his eye, he said, “I’m a reminder to have compassion for others by seeing life through their lens.“

He went on to say, “I somehow got separated from my flock, so I’m hanging with the seagulls for safety. We know the power of a community coming together for a common goal. Even thought we squabble and don’t always agree we give each other comfort.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
