Alright, I realise this is not very 'hardcore' and I've banged on about similar themes on here before, but has anyone else found that their relationship to our feathered friends has changed immeasurably as they've progressed along the path? Both in terms of their song and the awesome majesty of the sun glinting off even something as common as a pigeon's wings in flight?

To be honest, at (what I'm taking to be) around third path, they're the only really obviously 'spiritual' aspect of my day-to-day experience.

I just wondered if anyone else had had a similar experience? I know Tolle talks about them a bit but I just wondered if it's me being weird? Anyone else find their relationship to nature utterly transformed?

I'll still be happy if no-one else can relate to this, but it is a bit lonely and odd not being able to talk to anyone about it.....

What's gay about it? Are the boy birds having sex with the other boy birds?

Yea my relationship to nature has changed a lot... I really like birds. I also have found that I really like trees ;) really all nature is great
