Summary: Beautiful pictures of birds intermixed with inspiring quotes about kindness.
Of all of nature’s kingdom, the animals that best represent our highest aspirations are the ones that fly like our thoughts and hopes: birds. Indeed our best dreams are dreams of flight, and when imagination takes off, we compare it to a bird, and not a slithering thing or a four-footed lumberer. Birds are the natural symbol for goals and dreams, and naturally, seeing birds in community, the way they parent their children and dutifully attend them, we think of birds as nurturing. These winged things come to remind us of kindness – that which is best in the human heart. Enjoy these pictures of beautiful birds intermixed with quotations exhorting us to be kind to one another.
