The Urban Pigeon

Pigeon

a stout seed- or fruit-eating bird with a small head, short legs, and a cooing voice, typically having grey and white plumage.

Rise with the Son
Everyday, the Pigeon rises and counts its blessings.

The Daily Commute

The Pigeon is forced to brave the masses in order to make a timely entrance to its job, for if it is late, it will be reprimanded or let go.

The Haggard...

and the Healthy

While some begin their day rougher than others, the day for the Pigeon begins nonetheless, just as the day before and the day to come.

Sometimes the Pigeon flies aimlessly, searching for purpose in all that they have, the search.

Tasks of the Mundane

Hard Work...

Calls for Rest

Searching for a reason as to why you are searching can be exhausting, so the Pigeon decides to rest and recharge.

Lunch Break

During its break, the Pigeon bides its time purveying the land below for something to cure its peckish feelings.

By End of Day

When the clock strikes 17:00, the masses take to the streets and flock home, day after day.

The Pigeon Arrives Home

The Pigeon arrives home after a hard days work to rest once more before attending to its social life

With Life Comes Stress

Sometimes the Pigeon contemplates its existence in the nothingness of its urban life, feeling swallowed by society.

The Care of Others

But what the Pigeon must remember is that others hold compassion for it and are all going through the same situation.

The Forgotten

What the Pigeon often fails to recall is that its existence is not a mere singular one, but rather one of unity, where every pigeon around it, while having their own experiences, is still existing in the same monotony called Life.

A Wash

So when the time comes, the Pigeon must cleanse itself of the day it has had, and prepare to begin again by counting its blessings one more time.
