There’s a family of talking robins on our farm. They channel the wisdom of the ages. Last spring as I was taking this photograph, the robin starts quoting Tolstoy: “In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
Chastened, I did. Camera down, I just sat.
After a while the robin impersonates Yogi Berra: “You can observe a lot just by watching.”
