Gertrude
A true story
Gertrude steady and stout watches me watching her through my bedroom window her entire reason for existing is to guard the eggs she lay on my air conditioner and she does just fine whether it’s high cool or only fan she just stays there watching me watching her guarding her nest rain or shine she is living her purpose while I question mine
The joke's on us. Gertrude gets a biological mandate, and we get the weight of consciousness. It takes a bird sitting on a vibrating metal box to remind us that life is a lot easier when your brain isn't wired to overthink it. Stark and brilliant.
