wings

A bird flew right into the light of the sun, and when it did, its wings were like flames or lightning. Maybe you can imagine it: look at the blue below, where the house is kindly shielding your eyes from the sun. Now imagine moving a little to the left, so the sun is just visible--and a bird is flying up there, and its wings have all the sun's brightness caught in the feathers.

And speaking of wings--safe travels and best adventures to Little Springtime, off to the land of her birth, the land of the rising sun, for a year in a Japanese high school.

Congrats to your daughter! I spent a year abroad in high school (Germany) and it shaped the person I am today perhaps more than any other experience in my life.

How great that you got to have an exchange year, too. Yeah, that age is a great age to experience such a thing.
