ON THE BACK BURNER

 I looked at the sky this morning while I was stopped at a traffic light and there were dark clouds, with the sun shining behind them. What caught my eye was at least 25 undetermined type birds, just floating on a stream of air. They were like a chorus line that stretched in a straight line. Then they broke up and change their pattern and flew as if they were doing a ballet routine. I was only at the light for a matter of a few minutes, but those birds were having so much fun. They were so free. I had a wall hanging that I embroidered years ago and it said"Birds of a feather, flock together". It must be true. I think that I have to look up more often. I know what is right in front of me, but think what I miss by not looking up. And speaking of up.. I checked the sky this early morning and I saw Jupiter, Venus and Mars. Now that is a sight. I wonder if the birds ever look up.?
