Re: 49 Birds Overhead at Memorial

If it brings someone in mourning some peace so be it. People seem to need signs to make sense of Tragic happenings....they question their "God" and religion and this may give them peace.  It is human nature.

Thomas Aquinas said: “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.”

 

Disputed to be said by Franz Werfel: “For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.”

Whether it's true or not, what a beautiful tribute as their souls travel into the heavens.

In that same vein, did anyone hear about the 15,000 bees that swarmed after his death at Muhammad Ali's "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" mural?

 

“About 15,000, maybe a little more,” beekeeper Kevin McKinney told WLKY. “It was a very big swarm.”  McKinney added that the “irony is not lost on me at all.”

Not only did I hear about it, I saw them.  It was really something.  Of all the places those bees could have set up shop around there and they chose the tree right by that mural! 

 

The birds are beautiful and I hope it brought a bit of comfort to some.

Miracle, message from above or photoshop?

 

Believe what you want, and what brings you comfort.  All I can say is who knows?


Not an especially attractive or interesting picture.  Pretty random.  If I was grieving the loss of a loved one, I wouldn't take time out for this photo.

 

But maybe that's just me.
