May I learn from the robin
who races into the rain
instead of hiding from it
for her it is not a nuisance
it is nourishment
and when her wings are wet
she does not fuss or preen
but delights in hopping
upon the sodden earth
searching for the worms
knowing the slime and dirt
will only make her stronger
understanding that when
she deigns to stoop
she will be fed
Indeed. And feed they do! It's good to be a robin right about now...
