"Thank God I am not a bird" is a short essay by Karl Jones.
Thank God I am not a bird
Man has three great dreams, great wishes.
One of them is the wish to fly — to take wing like a bird and soar through the heavens.
But I tell you, I just looked out my back door at 7:15 am — the air is sharp with cold, my breath is foggy in the early light — and when I see four birds sitting on an overhead wire, I think:
Thank God I am not a bird.
Then I go inside and drink more hot coffee.
