As human beings we cannot see the face of God and live--and yet we catch a glimpse of the Divine in the world around us, in countless living metaphors, including the winged and feathered creatures.

Around the world, across the centuries, birds have stirred the human imagination. They have inspired us and comforted us. They have made us believe in miracles and mystery. Birds tell us that God loves us and birdsong is the sound of hope.
