A Visit from a Chickadee...

I stepped out onto my balcony to look at something when I heard a noise.  At first I couldn't tell where it was coming from.  It sounded like a bird had banged into a window.   I looked around and saw inside my apartment a bird on the inside of the window trying to get out.  I went inside and caught the bird and as I went toward the open balcony door it slipped out my fingers and flew out into the forest.  My dog was going crazy....
It was a little beauty of a bird and it left before I could photograph it.  As a totem the chickadee talks about communication and how to use our voice.  It teaches us about flexibility and curiosity.  I think my little visitor must have been a very curious little one.  Chickadee also is considered the bird of truth and one of my favorite places on the internet, Linsdomain, states it this way:   
"Truth can be shared in a way that adds joy to everyone’s lives."
I wonder.  Can that be Chickadee's message to me, or to you?

Don’t be afraid of curiosity.

Don’t be afraid of curiosity. 
Encourage it in our children.
Ask questions.
Question everything.
Even yourself.
With one exception, don’t question that you are great and good and loved.
Make it so the children don’t have to question that they are good and great and loved. 
Encourage their curiosity and let them know they are perfect and loved.
