    … and it seems a good idea to send a portrait of our hunter out tonight … he truly is a very handsome creature and every feature of his being is designed for functionality of purpose and that is always beautiful. Long sharp talons to sink into his prey and a very sharp tipped beak to make easy work of ripping the prey into tidy pieces that he can eat. The Coopers Hawk also feeds on smaller birds which frequently are caught in mid flight. The talons are used to hold the prey down and with the beak the Coopers Hawk  de-feathers the bird prior to eating it.

    Some people may think this a bit gross, but then we should be reminded of the feed lots for cattle and slaughter houses where all these tasks are performed for us.The division of labor and we all play small parts in the overall business of survival. For most creatures on the planet, there is no division of labor and each one is responsible for meeting all of their own needs. Lessons that urban dwellers should remember … we are all highly dependent on others and the incredible distribution system we have developed over the years to meet our needs, provide us with energy, water and highly necessary systems to dispose of our waste. We have such a wonderful country and so many have worked and fought to make it so … I hope we have the resolve to keep it and our freedoms as they are very much under attack.

    Have a beautiful day, keep breathing and anticipate a miracle today … a few smiles should do the trick!

    Cheers

    You, too, with the still soul,
    have your mission, for beneath the
    dashing, noisy waves must ever
    run the silent waters that give the tide
    its course.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
