Finches Are My Gurus

“What’s the secret to your happiness?” I asked my yellow-robed gurus the other day. They did not stop to answer, but instead kept their secret mantra going as they danced through the air and played hide and seek amongst the vegetables. Apparently they don’t give much thought to such questions.

 Goldfinches are associated with nature spirits. Since they are usually permanent residents, where they make their home there is likely elves and fairies to be found! They must be living in the untamed hedgerows around my property. At least I like to think so.
