posted this piece to social media earlier, but felt worth sharing here as well.
This morning on my way in to work, we had a back-up of ten or twelve cars at the post entrance. Why? A family of deer decided that the road in front of the gate was their space for a while. Totally ignored the guards trying to shoo them away. They moved on after a few minutes, but it was clear that it was totally their idea, and no one else’s.
A handful of deer shut down the US Government, or at least a part of it, just because.
It was beautiful. Nothing else today is going to make me as happy as having witnessed this little event.
It’s nature’s world; we’re just taking up space in it for a while.
Sometimes the world makes you feel small. I’m okay with that.
