The Cardinal

A haiku with a short story

Your days seem quite long
it’s okay to rest, stay strong
winter Cardinal, hope!

As I see this cardinal, she brings me hope. How about you?

The color red does something in my mind. When seeing a cardinal, it touches my heart and spirituality.

Seeing the color red may give a sense of pause. However, it can also provide enormous warmth. We can’t help but feel protected.

Red can also correspond with positivity. Seeing the color red can inspire us to take action. It holds power to lift our spirits and motivate us when we’ve grown stagnant. With its attractive energy and exuberance, red can encourage all who welcomes it. Red can give a healthy dose of optimism and hope.

Can you imagine seeing all of these cardinals in your backyard?

I hope you enjoy this YouTube video:
