Head First Dive-In

After a too-long hiatus, this unprecedented pandemic has actually delivered a tiny silver lining: less commute time and more home time, which means more blogging time, if I can manage it all properly.... These crazy COVID-19 days have just about everyone working at home so we can collectively try to flatten the curve.  So, pour Moi, that means the dining table, looking out toward The Jardin.

The view has its own charm, even if it’s not the sweeping cityscape of a high story HY view.  I’ve often wondered if working from home might help tip the balance a little bit more toward non-work life; well, now we’re all doing it - so the trial run begins!

Distractions are definitely an issue.  Particularly when they come in the form of young pigeon visitors to the terrace.  Yesterday’s observation: Young pigeons don’t spread their wings to launch - they apparently put their heads down and fall into flight...

... At least, I assume it turns into flight (rather than death). There were three pigeons originally, and each of the other two did it the same way.  Mother Nature can’t have designed them to launch that way if it leads to harm, right?

Maybe there’s something instructive in that - to trust instinct, and dive in head first, and go with it.
