So one of my favorite authors is Alexander Mccall Smith ( photo above..he publishes the book series "The No. 1 Ladies Dectective Agency")..... Well in my readings today in his chapter of "Blue Shoes and Happiness" a bird named the "Ground Hornbill" was causing some bad karma and superstitions in a small village in Africa....Long chapter short...the bird was a problem, but the beauty was that his character couldn't have put something so perfectly in words, the quote says it all...."This bird is one of our brothers and sisters. We are returning it to the ground from which it came, the ground from which we came too. and now we put the soil upon it..."..."the resting place of us all----of people, of animals, of birds..." How beautiful and how pure.....Read his series they are wonderful..Thank you Alexander Mccall Smith for wise and honest writings....
