about

“I turned. And there it was: a bright green parrot with a red beak perched on the ledge of the bird feeder.” Tista Sen, “How a Bird Feeder Revived My Marriage”

The titanic is found in our longing for the unlimited and obsession with the power of the huge and inflated. It does violence to everything that is relatively small, singular, and specific, and leaves us feeling numb, flattened, and stressed.

The excess of the titanic is a function of its emptiness, and therein lies the cure---filling that emptiness. We do this by recognizing, connecting, valuing, and caring for Others. This practice unites the heart, mind, and imagination, and can begin with a bird feeder.
