Building

I’m waiting outside the nail salon watching a lone pigeon fly back and forth. Among the many times he almost flew right into the head of a pedestrian, I finally noticed a frail needle between his beak.

Flight after flight it returns with the one pine needle. Quickly disappearing into the cover of my nail salon. Building a nest for the ones it patiently waits for. I’m reminded of persistence. Although it feels like a restful time, I can’t help but feel anxious about the future. What am I to do next? Right now I’m trusting the Lord. I know He has a plan. Right now I’m channeling the pigeon. I know persistence is key.
