Birds and lilies are the pioneers of switching between strength and weakness. The ease with which they forage or depend on the Ultimate Provider is noteworthy.

Remember! Telling ourselves and our children concocted community stories, even over centuries, does not change our responsibility to take our places individually with courage or faith in the Unseen.

24) Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25) And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span? 26) If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27) Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

Luke 12:24-27
