Loneliness, frustration and then awe.
Before you slam the door and go to work downhearted you take a moment to feed the Robin watching you through the window
... As you gently scatter cheese on the windowsill you slow down and breathe, noticing his thin stick-like legs and curious head bobbing about, happy to see you...
You smile and gentleness fills your heart. What were you doing fretting and fuming?
Is this not more worthwhile than emails and deadlines ?
Nature works.
