What I’d like to be.....

7 warblers on a branch, at Mt Angel Seminary, Oregon

I’d like to be like the sun, waking up in the early morning and enlighten wherever I am. I’d like to be like the moon, so that where there is darkness, I can brighten things with my light. I’d like to be like a melodious bird, who sings and entertains everyone with their harmonious song.   I’d like to imitate the flowers which embellish their surroundings with their perfume. I’d like to be like the fruit, so that I will be able not only to be enticing on the outside, but also delicious and and sweet on the inside. I’d like to be like the water, which invigorates wherever it flows. I’d like to be like Heaven, so that my soul becomes like a house for God.
