Corvidae

Today, I was struck by the corvids in my life. In casual conversation, I heard the words 'crow' (used as a verb), 'rook' (as a chess piece), 'jay' (a visiting colleague from NYC), and 'raven' (for once, the bird itself). I have always loved corvids as images, for their sass and air of knowledge, for their mythical and mythological aspects.

And today, I had a full set. The things which infiltrate our lives can be so strangely wonderful.
