Wow, you're a black bird. Blackbirds hold the gateway between the natural and spiritual worlds, ever urging us to become more self-aware. Your melodious song calls to the twilight and will keep you safe during difficult changes.
I just spent half an hour *after* I was supposed to be back at work from my dinner break trying to coax three of the cutest little grey kittens you ever saw out from under a hedge with the leftover salmon from my dinner.
I was spectacularly unsuccessful. They would come out to gobble up the pieces I threw as if they hadn't eaten in a week, but always stayed just out of reach, no matter how close I threw the fish. If I'd had an endless supply of salmon and an endless supply of time and a big blanket to extend my reach I might have been able to rescue one of them.
As it was it broke my heart to walk away. So many times I thought I was so close, and that one of them would come within grabbing distance, but they never did. I know the girl at the front desk noticed that I came back a full half hour after I was supposed to. I wonder if she'll say anything to my boss tomorrow.
