Close your eyes and see it all; a rare glimpse into the quiet thoughts of my father.
Here is a song to accompany your reading. I particularly like this:
/In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
/Where you invest your love, you invest your life
Enjoy.
One July Twenty-Eleven
And a Tom turkey gobbling away up in the woods behind us.
The mocking bird sounds like the bird newscaster with an infinite vocabulary never seeming to make the same combination of sounds twice.
The crows(terrorists) are squawking in the distance as they raid smaller bird's nests.
The regular raider from above (Blue Jay) of the dog food was a minute ago announcing to the hood that breakfast was down.
A myriad of sounds from within the quiet all sounds very peaceful but with knowledge of systems in nature, in the peacefulness exhibited I know there is the struggle of survival- food? Water? Mate? Predators? Heat? Cold? Enjoyment?
Especially thinking enjoyment of living - watching the Purple Martins buzz me on the mower they appear to be playing a game of chicken only to zoom away in a 90 degree turn within feet of me... that too, is likely a function of their survival consuming the almost invisible small bugs stirred by the mower.
Is this all one species viewing another with inherent dissatisfaction of their "lot" wanting to experience the freedom and joys of another?
I enjoy flying... Is that an escape? Is sure is an expensive proposition to be like a bird while functioning in the transportation business.
Clothing - why do we find enjoyment in multiple colors and designs? Do we look at the birds and their many colors a intricate details of design and want or own?
The evolutionary psychologist would describe everything from dating to altruism in terms of an unconscious evolutionary drive for survival...
What a blessed confidence we are allowed to know that we are crafted in the image/likeness of Him, our Author.
I hope even today yours and my head and heart are wise with enjoyment to the ways of Him who created us.
This great complexity with ups and downs and thankfully some straight and level times is saturated with the opportunities of a realization of Him and being a functioning part of His creation.
You could have been a bug...?
