Just after 5 this evening between the Thetford and Fairlee exits of I-91 I saw approximately 30 common nighthawks flying erratically in big southward moving arcs. (And you thought texting while driving is dangerous...)I live right in the valley, and several years ago witnessed a nighthawk migration that was better than going to church. This one almost matched it.

It's not
by chance that the dark center of human eye, the pupil, is actually an
empty hole through which the world becomes known to us. Likewise, in a
spiritual sense, the I is the empty center through which we see
everything. It's revealing that such a threshold is called the pupil,
for it is only when we are emptied of all noise and dreams of ego that
we become truly teachable. -Mark Nepo
