Pigeons
As humans, we always look for differences – to spot the unusual; to seek out stimulation. I call this the pigeon problem. You probably think that pigeons are at best nothing special, or at worst a nuisance. Why? Because pigeons are plentiful; they are common. The result is that we fail to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. Pigeons are incredible: a miracle of biology, evolution and adaption. They are even beautiful. It is the same in life. There are amazing people or things hiding in plain sight that we ignore, devalue or take for granted. Where are your pigeons?
