Jenny Wren

I always liked the story of the little wren that challenged the eagle to a “who can fly the highest” competition. She cleverly sneaked into the wing feathers of the eagle, and carried on flying up a little bit when the eagle was knackered, unable to fly any further.

I reimagined that story for my Fee Come’s Forth song release a couple of days ago. In my version the eagle and Jenny Wren work together. At the end, when the wren takes off from the back of the eagle, she carries the “poison of the world” away into the stratosphere. A Tiny Avian Saviour.

Saviours and superheroes belong in myths, or course.

There existence should not cause us to wait in apathy for somebody -politician, pop star, preacher - to come and make our lives worth living. To save us from ourselves.

Rather, they should inspire us to play our own tiny part in the story of Life.
