This bird on the neighbours’ apple tree
Reminds me of that saying about
Birds not being afraid of the branches breaking
Because they trust in their own wings.
That self-confidence is the greatest gift
We can give our children.

This is such a lovely photo, and the colors in it look so pretty with your pale mauve blog background!
It’s true that self-confidence is a great gift, and one that’s awfully hard (though not impossible) to give yourself later if it’s not cultivated by those you most trust when you’re very small. (My mother undercut mine at every turn (as her father had done to her), and the damage done still reverberates decades later. Sometime’s it’s not a matter of not trusting your wings, but not thinking you even have any.
