The World is Missing the Point
Each day we experience a multitude of wildlife out
back of our place; geese and their goslings, otters, pheasants, eagles, and
on... it never gets uninspiring. No matter how bad a day, nature has a way of
balancing one's mind back to the way all should be.
Sitting having my morning coffee and being given
the privilege of watching these spectacles, brings back a quote from my
childhood. A Native Elder told me to “watch
the animals and learn.”
Four weeks ago, two Canada geese had five baby chicks
emerge to this new world. Each day since, Rena and I have been watching these
babies grow. The parents keep their young close for protection, providing a
formidable wall for them against any threat that may come close.
Witnessing wildlife so often, has never lost my
sense of awe. Each visual experience encapsulates a full understanding of what
the Elder was trying to make me understand.
When I look at nature I see a weather channel, for
they know what is coming. I see if there is threat, for they are wary. I know
where there is water, for they lead me to it. They give me peace, for they are
my prescription.
Please... CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG!
