The times they are a changin’! There is no stinkin’ way I would walk
anywhere alone these days, night or day.
The world has become a more dangerous place since I was a teenager. I always advise people, young or old, to have
a friend with them. I mean, if the
military insists on their folks having a “buddy” when they go places, civilians
SURE oughta.
A while back, I was out in the yard and heard quite a
ruckus overhead. I witnessed a larger
bird seemingly trying to get into a tree that had a nest in it. I would guess the nest didn’t belong to the
big bird, because two smaller birds were attempting to chase the big bird away.
This went on for a couple of minutes. The smaller pair was successful at keeping
the bigger bird away from the tree, but the big bird kept coming back and
trying to get into the tree. Eventually,
another 4 (or so) smaller birds joined the fray and they were finally
successful in chasing the bigger bird away.
He didn’t come back the entire time I was outside, that day anyway.
My first thought was, “Wow, will ya look at that! The big bird was chased away by the smaller
birds. I have to blog about their being
safety in numbers.” It’s true, since I
put out a weekly blog, I am always thinking of how something I saw, or did, can
be put into a blog for the benefit of others.
There you have it, my beneficial insight for this week…
Remember, even if you are the smaller creature, you can
conquer the giant in your life. Get some
trusted friends and go after it. There
is safety in numbers.
