As I was going through the garage on my way out for my morning walk,
a noise from the window caught my attention.
This small bird was trapped between the panes and couldn't get out.
I was able to reach in, catch,
and release it outside.
...so beautiful
...and now free!
Although I risked nothing but perhaps a fall from the work bench,
to this little guy,
I was
...a heroine.
Real courage is:
"knowing you're licked before you begin
but you begin anyway
and you see it through no matter what."
~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
I would like to share Tom Paxton's song about the real heroes of 9/11, the fire fighters who went up the stairs of the towers to help others escape while knowing the fate that awaited them.

A dark day in U.S. history indeed. Even here in Canada, there has been non-stop "where were you when?" sort of coverage about 9/11. And stories about the planes that were diverted to Gander.
Oh my goodness, you must think me such a silly girl. You are in Nova Scotia too and probably hearing the same non-stop CBC coverage of 9/11
