As this new residence took shape in a foreign land, it also became a place to set down new roots. Gazing out the window, it seemed we could hear the clear sound of birdsong. "In my home, I hear the call of the magpie, always a good omen. "Thus I say that this spirit bird has come to deliver good tidings." The magpie's soft call enters with the breeze. The curious bird opens its eyes and flutters its wings, appraising its new surroundings, then hovers and glides in the morning light, its flight tracing a smooth, flowing line between earth and sky.
