From the side of the road
Happy Friday, vol 4: "We are brothers and sisters to all living things."
Katharine called this morning from the side of the road. She had just watched a bird fly into the wheel of the car in front of her at the intersection a few blocks down the street. It flopped and writhed around in pain, and when she got out to check on it, there was blood coming out of its mouth. She grabbed two pieces of cardboard from her trunk and used them to move the bird to a patch of grass in the median.
