i don't believe in god. but i do believe in the energy of an ever unfolding universe.
and that energy, which fully embraces the chaos of birth, death, dualities, black holes, exploding stars, gravity, atmosphere, voids . . . is part and parcel of our own heart beat. the knowledge we keep hidden from ourselves. the ancient magic and the reason to name the gods, to funnel that knowledge into some manageable knowable form.
but when we see and experience the un_orchestrated moment of the universal self, we know it as the feeling of joy.
and that is what happened in my analysis: the part of us connected to the whole, from one end of this universe to the other, in one millisecond, one split moment of seeing it, knew the truth of that little bird landing on a lectern in the midst of a roaring crowd.
welcome to the new age . . .
Here’s a video of the bird, which a chorus of birders say is actually a female finch, before landing on Senator Sanders’ lectern:
It appears that the symbolism associated with this buoyant little bird is incredibly fitting:
The vibrant little finch animal totem is unafraid to express what makes its heart sing. It is an outwardly jovial and upbeat bird with many lessons to teach us. We often find ourselves overwhelmed by negativity in our lives and thus find it difficult to be truly and simply happy. This is where the finch comes in as the dutiful master does for its student.
The Finches as bird totems remind us of the important attributes of joy, appreciation, high energy, positivity and optimism, and simplicity. They also implore us to be mindful of the Earth’s resources, careful and responsible with our diets, and to add some variety to the mundaneness of daily life. Life is a journey, and we should enjoy all the milestones along the way instead of solely focusing on the end result.
The Finch symbolism exemplifies this clearly through their flight patterns. Unlike most avians, who simply take the quickest and most efficient route from point A to point B, these songbirds make their journey in flight into a dance, twisting and turning throughout the air for no purpose other than enjoyment.
They are free and happy and are unconcerned with what is considered the acceptable norm. The finch symbol is thought to be an omen of exciting and joyful times on our horizon, so take the time to relax a little and be open to the great times to be had.
