Springtime for the innocent

[EndlessWire]

Yesterday, I was privileged to watch something sweet. Biology may be systematic, ordered, and reoccurring. But, that doesn't mean that there is nothing there but that. I watched two little birds, obviously in love, cuddling on a bare tree branch that I can see from my window.

They were unashamedly necking, just kissing away, hopping around, following each other, sticking together. No other bird came around to disturb them. I watched for at least 30 minutes, until they hopped out of sight. Next comes nest building, then eggs, then mouths to feed. Ah, thank you, Lord, for letting me see something ageless, beautiful, and inspiring.

2. Oh, that's perfect!

So sweet and pure. I like how the second bird responds by raising up her (its) beak to meet the other. It's like watching a romance movie. What is the evolutionary development for all species to express love through kissing?
