Here I lie inside, peering painlessly through pane-glass window at the world of trees and paths, signs and pavement . . . and the cardinal’s and robin’s nests.
I am, by nature itself, an outlier to the virtual sights and sounds of the iMac, phones, microwave, iPads, and ringtones of “messages” to and from other insiders.
I am an outlier, trained to lie to myself, peering in pain through pane-glass virtual Windows in search of the world outside my window.

The very real world outside the “pane” rejuvenates us to recognize what is really important and healing to our soul…..

Nothing like a robin to do that. Or a walk with the dog.
