Last month we were on vacation in Nayarit, Mexico. The photo which my husband, David, took of this Snowy Egret reminds me of the holiness of the lives and homes of everyone.
He stays very still on his golden slippers until he sees food for him – salamanders, frogs, insects, fish, crustaceans or more. Sometimes he stirs up the bottom with his golden slippers in order to stir up his food. He seems to be enjoying his life.
Later, on the afternoon when we took this Snowy Egret’s photo, we witnessed a Cayman or Crocodile attack and within seconds swallow a small feral cat. Living is complicated. Living our lives in ways that honour the other members of creation requires our careful attention. Good community and good leadership help us with this.
I hope that my new pantoum, which I wrote when we were in Mexico, will interest you.
