I think that birds, too, have egos. There are a flock of blackbirds who come now and chase alway all the lil birds and eat up all the food.  More are coming at earlier times than before.  THIS IS NOT RACIAL BIRD PROFILING, HEHEHEE, just a observation, nothing more.  hehehee

 

I think those mischieving blackbirds are the ba's of some spiritual egos.  hehehee

Please call off your spiritual ego blackbirds so the little birds can eat.  I put enough out for both so, dont be greedy you'll, be nice and share. THIS IS FIVE D.....

 

Thanks in advance and thanks for letting me share.

(ba)

Appearance: The ba was always portrayed as a human-headed bird, usually a human-headed falcon. The ba bird was often shown hovering over the deceased's mummy or leaving or entering the tomb at will.

 

Meaning: The word ba is usually translated as "soul" or "spirit". However, ba is probably better translated as "spiritual manifestation."

The ba is one of the specific components of the human being as understood in Egyptian thought. In the New Kingdom, the ba was a spiritual aspect of the human being which survived - or came into being - at death. It was endowed with the person's individuality and personality. The ba occasionally revisited the tomb of the deceased, for the dead body was its rightful home.

Animals were sometimes thought to be the bau (plural of ba) of deities. At Heliopolis, the bennu bird was called the "ba of Re." At Memphis the Apis bull was worshipped as the ba of Ptah or Osiris. At times, Osiris himself was called the "ba of Re".

                                

   The ba could also represent anonymous gods or powers. As such, they are occasionally represented in various mythological contexts. They are shown greeting the sun or traveling with it in its barque. In some illustrations of the Book of the Dead, ba birds are shown towing the barque of the sun during its nightly journey through the underworld. These ba birds may represent deities, whether or not they are shown with the curved beards of gods.

Usually, I give the birds bread or crackers every morning.   This morning I went out there with that bag of birdseed and spread it everywhere.  Put it in the feeeder so the lil birds could eat too.

 

They put on a nice flight show, especially those blackbirds.  hum.....

 

After I got thru doing my breathing, I could of sworn the birds was sayin "Geeta Geeta Geeta!," especially one of those blackbirds.  I had to come inside before I die laughing out in the yard. 

 

I hope that this BEAUTIFUL thing lasts as long as I last.  hehehee  JOY I guess I wanna say is possible to last forever.  Its a feeling that has no more descriptive name other than LOVE being the closest definition to me.

 

I thank Spirit for that.......hehehee
