An exquisite piece by Frederica Bunge, a student in my adult class.
"I've always thought of the bird's nest as a testament to 'Unrealized Potential.' That the leaves fell, precluding the mother bird from sitting on the nest was a matter of chance, of a contingency of nature, of 'possibility' unfulfilled.
In my sister's case it was her potential as a beloved wife, mother, friend, acclaimed singer, that went unfulfilled."
