I had not noticed the fourth Sunbird till I downloaded the photo.
This speaks a lot about the risk of not noticing what is hidden.
What is hidden exists and is sometimes more significant that what is revealed.
Anna and I happened to visit a children's park and Zoo with amazing flower beds and rows of plants and flowers and rare collection of animals. As we were about to leave at the end of of few hours of walking and taking photos we were shown an inscription on the corner of the entrance of the park, mentioning the name of the donor who built the park in the memorial of his daughter who died of cancer. Lord Swaraj Paul who contributed for the park did so for children and families to come and have family times.
I would have missed the significance of the park, if I missed to see the plaque.
Sighting the inscription made me realise how a family in their time of loss and grief remembered to bring good times to thousands of people for years to come.
They cared enough to turn their loss of their daughter to remember many children who would love a place to come to! What a thought of benevolence.
The park was spectacular. Seeing the inscription made the park stay in our minds as a living testimony to human response to personal loss by making others joyful!
