Look what I found for Georgiann, a street art pigeon! It’s just a tiny little bit of art, hiding in a corner in a alley. Anyway, it’s for her and if you click on it, you will be transported to her blog via pigeon magic.

Flying Away by Sath Flying Away, Used by Permission of Sath

We fly past the stars on silver wings,
rushing wind without and within.
All of life unfolds its answers
until we wake.
