Safety of friends and clearing space for the new

With a soft breeze and blue and white colors, the pre-sunrise was calming and soothing. The beauty reflecting on the wet sand helped my nervous system settle by matching the stillness.

The chatty flock was gone yesterday to avoid the storm but back today, ready for bath time and some much-needed self-care.

Many of the birds, including One Legger, were napping in the safety of the flock. One Legger said, “We feel safe enough to relax when we are together. This time if year we are very tired, please run into us when we are gathered."

Another gull, pulling out old feathers, chimed in saying, “Molting is our version of transformation. Pulling out feathers to make room for new growth can be a bit sticky. I’m here to remind you that even when letting go of the old feels hard, stay the course- you are clearing space for the new.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
