Hello. This is my first blog post. Starting a blog on Ash Wednesday — seems a bit strange to me. You may be wondering (especially if you know me!) why I chose to be The Sparrow for this blog. Let me tell you why I like sparrows.
A sparrow isn’t bright and colorful like a blue jay or a cardinal. It isn’t majestic enough to represent countries like an eagle. It isn’t wise like the owl. It can’t learn to talk like a parrot. It isn’t exotic like a peacock. It isn’t big enough to be a holiday dinner like the turkey. (Lucky sparrow!)
The sparrow is simple little bird, a plain and humble bird compared to the others. They just hop around in the trees and bushes sweetly and cheerfully chirping no matter what the weather. That’s why I like them. I can identify with the sparrow. I’m not colorful, majestic or wise. I want to be humble. I want to learn to be sweet and cheerful in “bad weather”. So I am The Sparrow. The Nocturnal Sparrow. I’ll explain that in another post.
