One facing me and the other one facing in the other direction, with the injured sparrow in the middle flopping around.

They were acting like crossing guards or something ... Chirping and jumping up and down to warn me not to come any closer. Finally the little injured sparrow flopped over far enough to the side that the two sparrows protecting their friends retreat moved on off and I drove on.

Proving to me that all things are truly spiritual.

Here's another one for you. True as I'm sitting here .. a bird got 'winged' by a cat in the garden; the cat was about to move in to maul it when suddenly, the cat was attacked by half a dozen birds that swooped on it until the cat had to retreat away and the bird recovered and flew up and rejoined the group, Spiritual ? I'm an atheist but it does make you :hmm: ?!

PS Ditto to an earlier thread, I am also right handed but use my left hand for the mouse .. oh .. and ironing !

It's very spiritual in the way that is shows natures beautiful way of reacting to its self.

The more we understand nature, the more beautiful it is.
How much more beautiful the stars are now that we know the huge distances the spread across and millions of possibilities the hold!

However, it is not spiritual in any "mystical" way that can not be understood.
