Avery in the garden today, they did some social seed pecking with the sparrows and the young mourning dove from next door, came over and gave little Avery the once over. Our little fledgling in residence has decided my shoulder and head are safe spaces to cuddle and tweet. It’s hard to articulate how much this tiny sentient being has given me in hope and love these past weeks. We have both traversed metaphorical mountains together, had tough moments but held on and climbed on. We will continue on this path till Avery is strong enough to fly free, and I will be ever wiser and stronger as I approach my 60th birthday. I feel like we both are growing our wings together. #nancyrodrigoart #nancyrodrigo #mourningdovesofinstagram #birdrescue #babybirds #artistsoninstagram #birdsofinstagram #queerartist #latinxartist #brooklynartist #artistselfie #auspicioussymbols #messenger #hope #esperanza (at South Slope, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSS9HdBMu7P/?utm_medium=tumblr
