Today I went in to work, as tomorrow I will be out with my parents doing the "healthcare system" visit...yikes does that get old. God love 'em, they keep hanging in there, for which I am thankful!
Ok, so back to working on a Sunday, when there's not a whole lot of staff in the building. I pull up and notice two geese/mallards/ducks (I can never get the species correct) staring at themselves in the glass doors. In fact, every now and then they would peck at the door as if trying to get their reflection to interact with them. They were clearly befuddled at the lack of responsiveness, and yet saw movement...hmmm...
I was kind of bummed for them, and yet it made a point to me. How many times do I think I'm really connecting with someone, only to find out it was a dim reflection of what I had assumed? It seemed like a connection, but it wasn't really! SUCH a disappointment (likely for them as much as for me!)...and such a desire to experience another's true and real self and yet reality "pecks it out" for us and reveals what is really truth.
So, my feathered friends taught me a little lesson today...now if they would only poop over in the grass and not on the sidewalks...now that would be progress!
