I watch the squirrels and birds fight bitterly for food at the feeder.
The red and gray squirrels squeal wildly and the little birds scatter. Then five blue jays swoop down and take control of the suet and seed for a few minutes before getting distracted – and the squirrels return to the battleground. There is no camaraderie and absolutely no sharing – not this morning anyway.
As human beings, we have the potential to share and assist. Our hearts are proud and kind. We can be infinitely altruistic and infinitely cruel. But we can choose how we behave! We are not bound by baser instincts. It is within our potential to be All Things – and this makes me Hopeful that we will resolve our global challenges.
The squirrels just knocked the bird feeder to the ground. Better go put it back up.
Just a few thoughts this morning.
