45/100 (04.14.09)
On the way to St. Louis, MO
stopped at a town called McLean, IL...
very tiny farm town
lots of old rundown houses and barns laying around here and there
I made a stop on "N. 300 East Road"
I wanted to take some photos there
while I was taking some pictures of the barn
I saw a bird flew in and out
it happened so quick so.... I wasn't able to get a shot.
so I decided to wait...
wait till that bird fly back in to the barn
so the waiting started
waited 5 minutes...
my body started to get really cold
it was about 38' outside
but it was windy
really windy...
and very cloudy...
and gloomy...
[my favorite kind of weather
just because the lighting is very even.... haha]
I was so stupid and didn't bring a jacket with me
but Justin drove off to check out some other places...
so the waiting continued...
10 minutes passed
I started to make bird noise...
of course... the birds aren't that stupid
they won't come near me because i'm trying to make birdy sound...
another 5 minutes passed
and I'm still waiting
at same spot
afraid to look over thinking the bird might fly in and out while I'm looking away
so I started to pray
please...
the lord of bird
let this bird fly in to the barn...
still nothing happens...
another 10 more minutes passed by...
and I'm still waiting
looking at the same place...
waiting for the bird to fly in...
I started to listen
listen to the wind
the sound of grass
sound of birds
and every little sound that was coming
I started to focus
that was very interesting and exciting moment
I started to hear everything
the cars driving by miles away
snakes going by me
birds flying in the sky
I felt like I was conducting an orchestra
what a feeling
standing at one spot for 30 minutes
I started to forget how cold it was
and still waiting for the bird to fly back in
I don't know...
waiting... and waiting...
not even sure if that bird is ever going to come back...
but I'm still waiting
hoping for the bird to fly back
hoping to get one picture of the bird
another 5 minutes passed
Justin came back
and as soon as he came back
the bird showed up!!
but she flew right back out...
maybe she thought I was trying to harm her...
with great hopes of her coming back
I stood there...
few minutes passed by and the bird came back again!!
and this time she posed for me
for few seconds...!
What a feeling!!!
I got pictures!!
I don't know if they are even good enough
but I got it
Breakthrough!!!
accomplishment...
it was only 35 minutes of waiting...
but wow!
I started to think...
I've only waited for 35 minutes...
God's been waiting for thousands of years...
Father's been waiting for us
waiting for people to realize
and come out of their shell
and start make the change
change themselves
and
change the people around them
to understand the reality
hoping one person to stand up and 'say'
and lead...
I want to be the one
I'll be the one
That's right!!
