Nests can be mended.

Birds are master builders.

From a Hummingbird’s tiny teacups to the massive structures of Bald Eagles, birds’ architectural engineering skills are unmatched.

Grass. Sticks. Hair. Discarded thread. Mud binding it all together.

Then life happens. Predators raid. Winds disturb. Time wears things down.

So birds repair.

More grass. More sticks. More mud.

We may have had relationships that, once strong and able to withstand all manner of predator and storm, became damaged.

Understanding was disturbed. Peace was disturbed.

The foundation of the nest – the mud – holding the relationship together, was damaged.

Time does its difficult work to rebuild trust and fortify weakened supports.

And, just like birds, the nest is mended little-by-little, fortifying love along the way.

A healthy nest takes work.

Always looking up,
