HaPPy MockingBird's DaY

This morning, there were sounds of many voices heard outside my window. I thought, "Who could it be now?" I gazed over at my security camera. There was the neighborhood mockingbird up and at 'em prancing along house-left of my home - spitting out mellow sounds and rhymes in a throaty soliloquy to no bird in particular. 

I watched as the lady bird bounced and sprang up on fence and post, down to the air conditioner condenser's platform, skipped down the trail around to the back patio, then she was back again! Standing in the spotlight of sunshine and my camera's lens.

I thought, "This wild woman would never give me a show such at this, if she knew I was watching her every move!"

Immediately, I began to day-dream about what it must be for God to know our every move. That is, mind you, those moves of ours God would care to see! After all, just how interesting can any one or group of us mortals be for God who has seen all earthly dramas?

This camera was only focused in on the stage outside my house. Every frame is realized, but nothing before that or beyond the lens could be anticipated or evidenced. Is this how an all-knowing God limits the frames of reference for our lives so as to afford us amazing chapters of privacy and personal freedoms? Even so, the 'tape' of our continuous dramas mount up in heavenly studio archives.

My mind raced.

This innocent little songstress playing to a crowd on the rooftops, and in the bowels of the trees, never could realize and appreciate the interplay she was giving the man behind these lens!

Not aware was this lady bird that mere hours of darkness ago, I had watched a tom cat skip, pounce, and race up the fence and post where she now was resting. I watched it all with ' night vision ,' and it was amazing. I saw everything occurring during the blackened early morning hours. The sneakiest "pouncer" none the better informed!

As Apostle Paul long ago explained to a wayfaring people:

¹⁹ . . .what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. ²⁰  For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made , . . . .

The ending of that quote, a few words more, is not for this particular story. What is important: 

In the quiet watching of a morning "lady" executing her feathered flight ritual; the presence of God reminds me of unseen figures gazing in on just a few, or all, of what mankind does.
