Well. I have written in my blog a few times about a wild blind sparrow that I first noticed and “sort of” tamed to land on my hand when I whistle. It hatched in the spring of 2007- and still visits me regularly. That it has managed to survive is in and of itself quite miraculous.. BUT?? This story gets better. Several weeks ago, I was putting out fresh water and birdseed on my balcony- and had to do a quick “double AND triple take”! There, feeding quietly.. were TWO blind sparrows! The adult male, AND a much smaller one. Talk about a *WOW* moment! *LOL* I did get a picture of the little one, but it’s not a great picture, as it is sitting in the feeder- and I will have to do quite a bit of work to get it to land on my hand. Hahahah, as it took me about 8 months to get a good picture of the adult male sparrow, you m-i-g-h-t have to be a little patient for photographic evidence, dear readers. 
And.. you are NOT going to believe this (well, unless you know me!) BUT?? Yesterday evening, I went out to refresh the seeds, and. Oooohhhh- have you already guessed?? YES indeed! TWO baby blind sparrows, and the bigger one were all feeding. I do appreciate the wonderful and compelling mysteries of nature.
Which provides a smooth segue into my next “pondering moment”. There was a little blurb on the evening news several nights ago that really caught my attention. As I have frequent dreams that I am “BEing” a sea turtle (it’s true!), it really provoked quite a session of “pondering and musing” for me. I still find myself thinking and “feeling” about this story- SO much that it is having that little nagging effect that I call “brain itch”. You know?? Like a thought or idea simply will NOT dissipate from your consciousness unless you take some sort of action? Well- I managed to find this video about the mysteries of nature- about a sea turtle who lost his mate. It is quite sad, but interestingly tinged with an aura of hope and mystery. With something like this, I like to call it a perfect example of “Happy Darkle Thoughts”. A balance of the lightness and darkness that is one of the paradoxically necessary elements in this “UNI~verse”.
