I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

There’s something deeply wise about preferring the chaos of nature’s alarm, sparrows with their purpose and presence, over the sterile beeping of a clock. You’ve captured that Cornish morning perfectly, that moment where you realize the best wake-up calls aren’t designed at all, they’re just what happens when the world insists on being alive. The simplicity of this haiku actually holds everything: the song is already there, it’s already proper, we just have to listen instead of resist. 🐦
Thank you very much. One of life’s great pleasures. I just don’t get to hear sparrows chirping like I used to in my youth, lost to the pressures of our mistakes.
I couldn’t agree more. I miss the cheerful chirping of sparrows that once filled the air around us. They were so common, even on school grounds. Sadly, they’ve all but disappeared now.
Natural adventures 
Absolutely!
