Another still moment in the sanctuary—gold light through the aviary, wings soft and calm. On days that hold so much memory, these simple scenes matter most. The world spins, birds sing, and hope quietly rebuilds itself feather by feather. September 11 stories of hope aren’t written in monuments; they’re written in motion, in care, and in living creatures who keep believing in tomorrow.

Molting season always amazes me. Hard to believe these came from the same bird. ❤️ Bethany wrote that years ago, and it still fits today. Feathers fall, new ones grow, and life keeps surprising us with what it rebuilds. September 11 Reflections of Hope echo in that simple truth-what’s lost gives way to what’s next, stronger and more beautiful than before.

Meet Beast. Found by a kind soul named Judy who picked up the phone instead of walking away. That’s what compassion looks like-no cape, just car keys and courage. Each year around this time, I’m reminded that September 11 Historical Events are about connection as much as remembrance. Thank you, Judy, for showing what healing really means.

Ever wondered what sanctuary life feels like?

Step inside a typical morning at RFPS: the gentle hum of volunteers, a rescued parrot cradled in loving hands, and sunlight streaming through our cozy, wood-paneled rooms. It’s a little messy, always heartfelt, and every day is a team effort-because these birds (and their wild friends) count on us for second chances.

Want to see it for yourself? Book a visit, lend a hand, or help us keep the lights on-every bit of support matters. 🪶

Thank you for being part of our flock. 💚

From the archives-a calm evening in the sanctuary, soft light, and the rhythm of feathers settling in for the night. These quiet moments are where hope lives. September 11 stories of hope aren’t always loud; sometimes they whisper through the wings of survivors. Tonight, like every year, we honor by caring. We rebuild by loving.

I almost didn’t go. It was one of those days when leaving the house felt impossible. But the phone rang—a stranger, a cardboard box, and an injured squirrel waiting for help. September 11 Reflections of Hope often start with that single call answered. Some rescues heal the animal. Others heal the rescuer. This one did both.

Hannah stepped out to stretch her wings today, a little reminder that movement itself can be healing. Every September 11 feels heavy, but we’ve learned to keep walking, keep breathing, keep caring. This small soul out exploring the world is what recovery looks like-quiet courage, one step at a time. September 11 Historical Events remind us what’s possible after loss. Hannah reminds us how to live it.

Sometimes sanctuary means skipping the vacuuming and just soaking in the sound of birds being birds. Tara filmed this on a quiet September evening—no filters, no fancy edits, just a slice of real life. On a day when the world feels heavy, September 11 stories of hope remind us that peace can live in small places too. The mess will wait. The laughter won’t. Here’s to finding joy exactly where you are.

I first wrote this in 2014 when the silence still hurt. Each year the words soften but never fade. Grief doesn’t disappear-it becomes the fuel behind every bowl filled and every life saved. September 11 Reflections of Hope live here at the sanctuary: in healing feathers, in laughter that returns after loss, in trust rebuilt one gentle hand at a time. To everyone carrying memories today-thank you for letting love keep its wings.

🕊 Echoes Through Time
September 11 Historical Events remind us that courage and hope have echoed through time in many forms. In 9 AD, Roman legions fell in the Teutoburg Forest, and the Rhine became a boundary that would hold for four centuries. Sometimes the most lasting victories come from knowing where to draw the line.
These September 11 historical events remind us that courage, compassion, and hope echo across centuries. Here at the sanctuary, that same hope still beats in every wing and heartbeat today.
