Ducks?

OK, so one of my jobs these next few weeks is to watch over the 21 ducks who inhabit the pond. There are three families. One is a mother with four little babies. The second family consists of eight mid-size babies and a mom. The third group has nine babies with their mother. Let me tell you duck moms are some mean cusses! The mom with the most babies is aggressive. Though I suppose laying nine eggs, sitting on them, and waiting for them to hatch might make one feel ornery. The pond is big enough for all the ducks. There is plenty of food for all the ducks, yet the middle family really wants to dominate. Then there are river otters...these critters swim under the water coyly snatching baby ducks under. That is just rude. I am going to need a slingshot-no, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn! I won't hit the river otter just coax it along it's way. It's a pond not a river, know your place. Gopher patrol appears under control. I googled gopher control but trap setting is not my thing. Peaceful coexistence, that is all I'm seeking. One with the universe, mutual respect and kindness. How do you teach ducks? Darned if I know. I didn't even know ducks were so much like people;territorial and wanting to have more than they need just so they could say they had it. Why is that? Why don't we just take what we need and pass the rest on to the next ducks. Ducks, by the way, do walk in a row. The mother also teaches them to eat in the water upside down. We use to stand on our heads and have someone pour beer down our throats through a tube-how high will that rank on the stupid meter? Funny how no matter where you go there you are. The view may be different, yet the reality is the same. Changing your perspective is a good idea. I Feng Shui all the time. Stand on your desk at work; look around. It is like a whole different place. Time and perspective benefit everyone. Peace can be elusive! Attainment of inner tranquility is possible. Of course obtaining your peace should not disrupt another person's peace. Often does though doesn't it? Just like those ducks. Each mother seeking the most food, protection, and shelter for her babies is aggressive in moving all obstacles-even when it is not necessary. That momma duck can take care of her business without bothering the other ducks. She doesn't though. She is aggressive in pursuit of what is best for her little ones. Silly duck! How am I going to impart to a duck the concept of sharing? I have a lot of work to do. Better get busy. By the way, I am typing this on my iPhone and can't proofreadr or spellcheck, so please forgive the multitude of errors. I am doing the best I can!
