Hello, everyone. My daughter in law sent me this lovely poem and I thought you folks out in Eagle Land would enjoy it.


Listen (RealAudio) | How to listen

Poem: "Why I Need the Birds" by Lisel Mueller, from Alive Together: New and Selected Poems. © Louisiana State University Press. Reprinted with permission. (buy now)

Why I Need the Birds

When I hear them call
in the morning, before
I am quite awake,
my bed is already traveling
the daily rainbow,
the arc toward evening;
and the birds, leading
their own discreet lives
of hunger and watchfulness,
are with me all the way,
always a little ahead of me
in the long-practiced manner
of unobtrusive guides.

By the time I arrive at evening,
they have just settled down to rest;
already invisible, they are turning
into the dreamwork of trees;
and all of us together —
myself and the purple finches,
the rusty blackbirds,
the ruby cardinals,
and the white-throated sparrows
with their liquid voices —
ride the dark curve of the earth
toward daylight, which they announce
from their high lookouts
before dawn has quite broken for me.


Literary and Historical Notes

Also, I would like prayer again, as my husband is not doing well. MTBR

normabyrd said...

JO---That "Little Princess" has been sleeping most of the afternoon----Will check on her toys!!

Just like yesterday - ButaButa spends this last hour in the darkened room playing or under the bamboo when it comes in.....


Hi Sandra - Your hubby will certainly be included in my prayers
How is your Mom doing or over-doing?

normabyrd said...

SANDRA---Thank you for the beautiful poem----I am so very sorry your husband isn't feeling well---I will keep you both in my thoughts & prayers---God Bless---

Just Vicky said...

Breaking news, Anna Nicole Smith is dead,

Mauley said...

Blog won't let me in This is the 20th time I have tried to get on. Mauley

Mema Jo said...

Vickie, I was just reading about it - Really a messed up affair isn't it?
I didn't know about the 5 month old daughter... I wonder what will become of the estate now?


BTW I was gone for awhile & had dinner......... Soon to be gone to
do the dishes.

Mauley said...

Ok for my original post. Thanks steve. We appreciate you so much. Just wanted you to know. Hi glo, jo, sandy (thanks for the poem itis lovely) Hi Iris, and Normabyrd, and Vicky. So sad about Anna Nicole Smith. I keep thinking about the little one and her having no mother. Very sad. mauley (Hope it takes this one to) Fingers crossed.

Mema Jo said...

Donna Since you are now on
WELCOME

Maybe you best stay on & don't sign off! What say you.

If you read back aways - Sandra needs prayers for her husband that isn't doing so well lately.

Mauley said...

Prayers for Sandy's husband going up.

Mauley said...

The only way that the blog will take my post is to preview it first. Strange, I know, but that is the way it is for right now. Wonder what is going on with it. Glo, give Mits the wet noodle or just take care of it yourself. thanks donna

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good afternoon, eagle buddies. I just talked to them at UVa. They said the abscess is still half the size it originally was and I am going to have to have the drain put back in. Please continue to pray for me!

glo said...

OK Sharon you have had and still have my prayers going up for you.

Mema Jo said...

Just read your remark Sharon and I know that's not what you wanted to hear; however I know you will accept it & Git R Dun! If that procedure got it down half the size - then this time it just may get it ALL GONE! You know my prayers for you are being said! Love You Buddy!

Mema Jo said...

6:24pm Switch at BW

glo said...

Sorry Mauley I don't know what to suggest to you except if I woul dpreview all of mine we would have a whole lot less typos so its not all bad. Maybe the blogger cop is picking on the wrong person, so i think I'm gonna go hide with that thought lOL

Mauley said...

((((((Sharon))))) I took the liberty of calling my prayer group to pray for you and activate our prayer chain. I teach the senior ladies in Sunday School. They take prayer time very seriously. We have been in prayer for you since you had the last procedure. When you find out when the procedure will be, we will set that time aside for community prayer vigil if you want us to. I know this is hard for your family and for Andrew especially. (((Andrew))) love sister donna

wvgal_dana said...

Prayers for Sandra's husband, Nilla, Sharon and anyone I missed writing here.

Mauley said...

Has Nilla been on the blog today? Does anyone know how she is?

Mema Jo said...

Lady BW in the nest
(I think it is the Lady)

floralgirl said...

Hi everyone- Sandra, keeping you and your husband in my thoughts, hope everything will be ok. Sharon, sorry you have to go back and have that procedure again, maybe this time it will take care of the problem completely, hoping you are better soon.

floralgirl said...

Sandra, forgot to say - that poem is beautiful.

Just Vicky said...

Hi there Floralgirl!

Just Vicky said...

warm up by my fire, get your hot cocoa and MY oatmeal raisin cookies and toast your feet in the fireplace

floralgirl said...

Boy, that fire does look cozy!! Hi Vicky, I wouldn't think of eating YOUR oatmeal raisin cookies, I'll just have chocolate chip.

Just Vicky said...

HOw kind of you to NOT eat my cookies! Of coure, they are probably ALL gone! Would that be correct?

floralgirl said...

oh, they're not all gone, still lots left!

Just Vicky said...

Well, a day old now, hummmm, prices are falling!

floralgirl said...

Hey, they are in a sealed baggie, they are still fresh!

Just Vicky said...

OK, still full price! Since you've done such a good job of keeping them fresh for market! (my tummy!)

Just Vicky said...

But actually, I need to NOT eat cookies! Seems I am having a slight problem with fasting blood sugar levels! Always something to take away all the good things in life!

floralgirl said...

fasting blood sugar levels? what do you mean?

Just Vicky said...

well it seems when I was in for outpatient a week ago, I had not had anything to eat, (the routine nothing after midnight thing!) and the blood tests showed my sugar levels were on the high side, which means, pre-diabetic conditions if I don't get a grip!

Just Vicky said...

So, sugar and white flour are suppose to be limited

floralgirl said...

Yikes, sorry to hear that, I probably eat way too much sugar myself. Mostly I'm a chocolate addict. Have never had my sugar levels checked.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

me and sissy are back from the meeting.
from mattie

Just Vicky said...

oh goodness Megan, should check on that, need to know where you are on the charts!

floralgirl said...

Hello Mattie and Sharon!

Just Vicky said...

Hello there Sharon and Mattie!!

floralgirl said...

My philosophy is usually if it ain't broke don't fix it, Vicky. Not saying it's a good policy, just the way I am. Never been advised by DR. to have sugar levels checked.

Just Vicky said...

Well its probably one of those older aged and over weight issues also, and you sure do NOT have either one of those going against you Megan!

floralgirl said...

Well, I might be older than you think ... And really it's the type of work that I do that keeps me from gaining too much weight.

Mema Jo said...

Lisa - BW has been updating again.
She has Nest Updates on each of the cams with special photos!

floralgirl said...

Those are some cool pics she put up!

Mema Jo said...

They really are - I am so glad to see so many of us sending her pics & she seems to put all of them up!!
The one Dana took today that has us all wondering what was going on is also on there!

floralgirl said...

She has always been real appreciative of the pics sent to her by cam viewers, and about updating and sharing cool facts and info.

floralgirl said...

Past my bedtime, nite all. Jo, hope my email wasn't too personal..didn't mean to unload.

Mema Jo said...

You have mail, Megan.

Mema Jo said...

It is time to call it a day...

Good Night Everyone
Pleasant dreams & peaceful sleep
My prayers are being said for all

MITS said...

STOPPING IN TO SAY GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE CAUGHT UP ON MY E-MAILS AND THE BLOG....Wonderful time with Maggie. Before I left tonight, my sisters and brother-in-law brought in a yummy dinner at my daughter-in-laws house. Just had a lot of kisses and hugging with Maggie...She is 6 months old today..2/9/07! Thanks for the birthday wishes,Suzanne. And thanks again to everyone for all the e-cards and snail-mail cards, its been a wonderful day, and now beginning my march to the big "60", next year:):):).

glo said...

Good morning everyone. Hope your day goes well. Off to coffee and dog treats. Then will fire up a couple of cams and work on income tax...Oh Joy!

floralgirl said...

Hi Glo. Getting ready to do my taxes, too. takes a while to get all my business info together. The only good part is getting some money back from the gov., less for them to waste, and I can always use it.

MITS said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! 18° here in Bethesda. Winds are calm. I just looked out my kitchen window and 2 ROBINS are drinking the melted snow from my rain spouts. I do have a little solar bird dish, but they don't seem to come to it. Have a good one.

MITS said...

Good Morning Eagle Watcher Buddies
Still cold but at least the sunshine is here. Can't believe about the robins in Bethesda! Crazy birds. I wonder if they ever left the area?
I pray the work on our cam is going well today.... I really need to see Belle in the nest!

glo said...

Oh Mema Jo I hear ya...we all hear ya...and we also all know this is Fri and what that means as well. Hopes and prayers continue for ourselves and the joy of these eagles and the cam that we want to watch but also for those of us who need prayers for personal situations and there remains several in here who need that prayer support as well.

MITS said...

Jo, I don't think they go to far away, I see them alot in December...your right crazy ROBINS, they are all puffed up, look like oranges in my trees:).

Mema Jo said...

Lady & Lord Blackwater were both at nest. I think it was a switch or maybe just a visit.

floralgirl said...

Good morning,Jo and Mits. Gotta run to town, taking my mother in law shopping(my good deed for the day)She hasn't left the house in 2 weeks cause of the snow and cold weather! Figure she must be going stir crazy, so I'm taking her to town. Hope you have a great weekend, Suzanne. Talk to y'all later.
