Kai and I

Ever seen a crow couple?

Couple of minutes with him daily are therapeutic; for in those minutes I think of nothing but this beautiful creature in front of me. He tilts his head when I look away, sits patiently until I bring his food; a language unspoken, but understood by just the two of us…
