On the way into work today - I was yes technically laid off but as of this week I am going to help out part part time - which is great. Health insurance is fun to have. So very grateful for that.
On the way in I saw a dead deer on the side of the road that I have to assume was hit by a car. Standing on top of it was this little black bird. Not a turkey buzzard. This little guy (and not sure why when we see animals we automatically call them "guys" but we do) was standing there with his chest puffing out, looking straight out at the highway with an air of such accomplishment surrounding him. There were a few other birds like him milling around the body looking up at this one bird. He seemed to be saying, projecting, "Look at me. I am king of this deer and all I survey" Right on little man, little black bird. For that time, for however long it ended up being before another larger bird knocked him off, he was king of his environment. Very inspiring for me. Insightful even. Been a long time since I've had a deer to stand on and proclaim my kingdom. Seems as if I've been standing on all the wrong possessions lately. I am hoping that explains why lately I have not felt as a king does, as I imagine one to feel; powerful, logical, in control and enlightened. I need to define my deer and then stand on it and announce my kingship. All on a Monday? Well maybe I will start today and see how the rest of the week goes.
