Morning

I am sitting here in the yard with the sun rising over the hill. Now and again a cloud blocks it and the sky turns dark and the air cold. There are at least 100 different bird chirping around me (OK, maybe 100 is an exaggeration inprefer to call it poetic license) I fed the big ducks this morning. Then I watched them chase a frog out of the pond, around the yard, and back into the pond. The frog escaped being breakfast! On the news last night there was a story about people selling beer encased in road kill squirrels. The beer is 55% proof and sells for $750 a bottle! I am opposed to killing anything. I catchc spiders and let them out; but $750 a bottle; that is a lot of $$$$! Must see 2 or 3 squirrels in the road everyday, poor babies. Do you think they would mind if I shoved a beer bottle in them? Who thinks of such a thing? "Oh there is a dead skunk, let's put a bottle of wine in him and sell him for $1,000!" that is just crazy. Why would someone do that? Of course I have had pets all my life. Everytime I lost one my heart ached, but to have them stuffed and kept on my bed or something like that, well that is just plain odd! We once lived next to a slaughter house. We played with the little pigs, fed them, cared for them; until they were ready for slaughter-yes, we ate them. This was their purpose. We all have a purpose. There is a reason for our existence beyond paying bills and filling seats in a movie theater. ( I guess unless you are a movie critic, then filling seats at the movie theater is your purpose) it would be nice if we were told our purpose, then we could set about to get the job done. Doesn't work that way-think about all we would miss if we blindly worked only for completion. Some say I am a person who takes the scenic route. Some say I meander. Well a lot of people say that, I reckon I don't have much use for the whole shortest distance between to points idea. Probably why I failed geometry 3 times. Just sitting here, watching ducks chase frogs, listening to the birds, shooing the darned flies, and meandering about in my mind is just fine with me. I see a lot of things I would otherwise miss and experience a lot I would not. The people I have met and the memories we share-see I would not give up being lost for just getting there. Meander with me. Just take a walk with no purpose, or a drive with no destination, or sit in the yard with the sun peeking from behind the clouds, meander a little today-let me know where end up-I bet the journey will be fantastic!
