John's Inspiration
Positive Direction No.2 was inspired by the first "Positive Direction" featuring a Black Crested Tit (Periparus melanolophus), a small bird that lives in the coniferous forests of eastern Afghanistan to western Nepal. While this little guy is not from around my local area, I tend to get a ton of bird pics in my feed (no surprise). I’m always drawn to the cute little ones with mohawks. I think it’s because I’m always amazed how little beings so small exist and find their way in our crazy world.
It’s kind of amazing when you think about it. When I feel overwhelmed and lost sometimes, these tiny birds remind me to keep going, take things one step (or wingbeat) at a time, and trust that I am headed in a positive direction.
