    … our friend has made a kill that is on the edge for him to successfully get it out of the pond and up to an area where he can complete his meal. The razorback sucker probably weighs around a pound or two and our hunter is using his non webbed feet and everything available to him to stay airborne and less than ten feet in front of him is a berm that is about five feet above him … gain altitude fast or crash into the berm. You will also note that he has his head retracted as far as possible … this is a weight and balance issue … too far forward he goes into the pond and too far back he stalls out and ends up in the pond too. In fact our proud hunter flew through the weeds on top of the berm and eventually made it to an area where he could focus on his tasty meal. It was really questionable as to whether or not he was going to clear the obstacle … almost, but enough so that he stayed airborne. Another small miracle seen in nature, because I was there and looking … so many more that each of us experience routinely and whether or not we are there miracles like this occur daily. Part of the daily struggle all creatures including us must meet each and every day.

While in the store check out the greeting cards, photos in the gallery and my books. Thank you.

    Work
     
    I ask no odds of any man,
    I am not one that follies sway.
    I am the source of my rewards,
    I do my work each day.
     
    The fruit of trees, the grain of fields,
    Wherever use and beauty lurk …
    The good of all the world belongs
    To him who does his work.
     
    It matters not if rich or poor.
    This is the futures great command,
    Who does not work shall cease to eat;
    Upon this rock I stand.
     
    Thou work bring naught of power nor wealth
    Spare me from want of common needs,
    And give a share of manly health,
    A few good friends of honest deeds;
     
    And till death’s peaceful slumber nears
    A life of undishonored years.
     
    — Max Ehrmann

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
