Last week I said:
I’ve been pondering evolution quite a bit lately, and if there is one species that has climbed higher up the ladder than we have, I think it’s the birds. Anything that wakes up before the sun with an unflagging desire to sing knows something we don’t.
Well, after waking up Monday to a car covered in bird crap, I am compelled to re-evaluate that thought.
There’s a church down the street from where I live. I am not a religious man, but I have worked this church into my daily schedule. At 6pm each and every day, they sound their bells. And while it simply has to be digitized – it’s roughly 4 minutes long – I make it a point to step outside, sit on the stoop for the duration of the song. I have no idea what song it is, but, if there really and truly is a heaven, I am sure that’s what it sounds like.
Cosmos. All 13 Episodes. And that’s all I have to say about that.
