Pete HamillI don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful.
About This Quote
In this quote, the speaker is acknowledging the beauty of the birds and the sunrise as things that should not need a reason to be appreciated. He also speaks about the importance of not needing to know the reason for everything that happens around us. His point is that there isn't a single explanation for something as beautiful as a bird's song or a sunrise on a misty morning. Why it happens should not matter as long as we can admire it.
This should apply to our relationships as well. If we can be close to someone without needing an explanation for their actions, so much the better.
