Personal Perspective
Six close, first-person vignettes — mostly animals, mostly mornings. Ordered from the most concrete and observational to the most abstract, each finds something larger inside a small, specific scene.
Animal mornings
1At the Ranch
“One of the two big black horses was nuzzling the little pigs this morning, on and on before he knew I was watching, licking and grooming, the two little pigs together.”
2Cuddling and Carnivores
“Down at the horse-barn a crow insistently tries to tell me something of great urgency.”
3Frantic
“The robin parents frantically cheep and cheep, or should I say cry and cry?”
4Deer and Coyotes
“Deer stand on the trail above the gamboling coyote pups in the valley, a mother and yearling deer maybe.”
Beyond the animals
5Hillside
“So beautiful, this simple hillside. So beautiful in peace and momentary safety.”
6Fledging
“This world is merely a launching point. To understand the Purpose and Reality of the stew while just looking at the iron pot is impossible.”
