For my Great Grandma Gooding
This little guy is about the size of a thumbnail (painted on
a grey macaw parrot feather). Great Grandma Gooding collected cardinals. She
lived into her 90s and most presents that I saw given to her during the time
that I knew her had something to do with cardinals, thus she had all sorts of
collectables housewares decorated with red birds. They are beautiful birds that
pop against Ohio's winter snow. Did she have as much of a passion for them as those
who gave her gifts assumed or hoped? It often happens that when one mentions
that they like a particular thing, loved ones will glom onto that idea because
they want to give gifts, but are unsure of what is privately meaningful in
one’s life. Before you know it, you’ve acquired a collection of something that
you were simply happy to admire and enjoy in its natural state, but had no need
to own. How many collections start that way?
