The flutter of their wings can be heard if you sit still in the cold fresh snow.
They land gracefully next to you to reassure you that a loved one or angel is near. All too popular is the phrase: “Cardinals appear when angels are near.”
What a comforting thought and feeling.
What beauty these little messengers hold, such a stark red contrast with the snow below them.
They live almost everywhere and can be seen by many.
I have only ever seen them in my mind’s eye. Perhaps one day, I shall witness one in person.
