The Flight of Phoenix

Alex

1976 - 2007

God Bless Him.   Alex brought us the awareness we needed.   Birds are just like us.  No, not as powerful,  not as dynamic, but gentle souls with a sense of self just like we have.   Lost little guys from a lost age,  when the earth was a garden.   We seem to sense that lost age,  when we garden, or camp, or go to the park.  And in that garden  before Adam and Eve  there was intelligence.

I remember the  first moment I saw it.  They had two triangles, red and green and they asked Alex...."What's the difference?".

"Color"  was  his answer....the hairs on my neck stood up!!

My understanding of who I was working with changed that day.   These weren't pets, they were beings, lost souls who needed our help and understanding.  So I don't run a bird store, I run a facility that cares for and guides other caregivers so they may take better care of these poor lost souls who, without their garden,  have been entrusted to us.   This may sound silly or idealistic but then I have always been a silly idealistic guy.   And one of my guides on this path we call life has been Alex.

Via con Dios my friend.   Though I never met you I will always miss you.
