A Caged Bird

"The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom" Maya Angelou

I got a little crafty a couple of weeks ago, and have been wanting to share the results, but with the horrid grey weather, gettting a decent photo has been near impossible. However, the sun chose to shine today! Out camera the camer, and now I can share. This is my caged bird windchime...minus the chime...so I guess it's just a dangly pretty thing! I couldn't get a close enough shot, but inside the cage is a tiny little bird on a swing - I love it!

Til next time, take care,

Still I Rise

Life is not easy for me of late. I'm stumbling along, muddling through. And when things get too hard, I read. There are quotes, poems, stories that I have read many times, and that will always stick with me. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Maya Angelou, and this particular piece seems so fitting today. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
