Grand Lake at Bernice State Park
BIRD BRAIN
and the thinking stops
I can feel the gliding sensation of the birds just in front of me
If I hadn't come to this very spot today
They would certainly still be here ...
The birds, the fisherman, the ever-rolling waves of the lake on this windy day
Yet, maybe the birds changed their course
Didn't come quite as close to the bank as they would have had I not been here
They stop their wings, point their heads down
And dive head first into the water
It's amazing to watch
So far tho, it has appeared to be a wild guess and produced nothing
But the beauty of the bird brain is, there is most likely no conversation
about how there is something wrong with them or they are not doing it right
Just try again and again and again, it's enough just being alive ...
flying, making noise, diving into the water and catch a fish, or not ...
And everyday is a good day.
