I just recently heard this song. I Love Ani Difranco, but never heard this one previously. It is SUCH a beautiful song.......one of my all-time favorite songs, for sure.
I think the message of it is something like: Our lives can be very painful and sometimes seem meaningless, but all we have is the moment. If we are open to the moment, we'll see and experience beauty and meaning (to me, that's what the bird represents.) If we're always caught up in thinking about the past/future, we miss the innocence and power of the moment. We need to be mindful and clear-eyed to really experience life and love in it's fullest colors.
It's an Amazing song by an Amazing artist. Ani DiFranco is my favorite artist - her music has changed my life for the better and helped me through some difficult times.
