As usual, Leah, your expression of the nature of expression is lovely and lyrical and clear. The hummingbirds that visit the windowboxes outside my office to sample the blossoms or pause at the feeder always feel like a blessing of my work, even if their activity has absolutely zero to do with me. I love the reminder that nature's most adorable creatures aren't doing it to be adorable for me. That they have their own business to attend to. And that whatever emerges from their throats is an unstoppable urge to say what wants to be said, regardless of who might be listening.
