Food For Thought #1

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”

Stephen King

    I wish all birds were free. It is so cruel to keep them in cages!

    I like to read King…

    Love is a bird… she needs to fly
    Let all the hurt inside of you die
    You’re frozen… when your heart’s not open …
