Hatching

This morning while out for a sniff-and-stroll for the Small Dogs, I spotted half of an eggshell on the sidewalk -- some wee little bird must have recently hatched out, leaving this remnant behind. Where was the nest for this bird? I could not see one.

Five years ago today was the Unmooring. The grief of that event has attenuated over time, and it is now possible to reflect on it without undue sorrow. I am not sure yet that I can think of the Unmooring as an emergence into a new world, but perhaps I can think of recollections from the time before the Unmooring as forming a lovely, ephemeral eggshell in which I once grew.
