Why does the caged bird sing?

Creasy: The gunshot holds no fair, say it.

Pita: The gunshot holds no fair.

Creasy: You welcome the sound. The sound is what lets you go. The sound is what frees you. You are a prisoner in those blocks until you were the sound. 

(This is the pool scene from one of my favorite films: Man on Fire)

Maybe that's why the caged bird sings. To welcome the sound, to let go, to seek a flavor of freedom..  Just noticed the birds on the the top right of my my main page. Funny, they were there all along -- took a while to see them -- guess it's easy to miss something if you're not looking for it. Freedom perhaps?

Only is San Francisco 

That's what a 10 hour Caravan ride does to you

I wonder if these shots made the cut

Bits & pieces make a whole, baby steps.

You know that one supposedly "insignificant" moment that you remember perfectly from your childhood?  This will def be mine in ten years. Lucky for me, it was captured --- 

Art Gallery, San Fran

Mother nature, you've been Oh-So-good to me.

Right across the inmate's caged "playground", 
is a bird's sky limit. The irony

 I'd thought I'd save the best for last, a big believer in happy endings. The parallelism of these last two pictures defines my experience of San Francisco. I hope that the caged bird never stops singing, I know I won't.
