Water Fowl

Another gray winter's day but with a beautiful view and yes, a precious moment of peace. For if there is one thing I've learned from my quiet mornings on the lake, it's that ducks don't care and geese go on. They aren't wound up about the state of the world. They don't lose sleep over their fears for tomorrow.

​They swim and they strut. They eat bugs and fly in formation with their friends. They mate and lay eggs and hatch chicks, and geese, in particular, seem to be set on filling the world with poop, which, when you think about it, is still better than people poop, if I can be so crass.
