Just a Bird Squawking: The Art of Loving

"The religious task of man is not to think right, but to act right ... "

Erich Fromm
[73]

Why "Just a Bird Squawking"?

My mother, Sister David, was ill and in bed, and I was getting ready to leave to speak to the National Council of Catholic Women. Sister David had a bird in her room, a little parakeet, and I said to the bird, "So long, chico." And he said, "Sock it to 'em, Angelica."

"It's the Lord," I told David. She looked at me and said, "No, it's Sister Regina. She taught him that."

You know what the lesson there is? Careful what you attribute to the Lord. Sometimes it's just a bird squawking.
