Guess Hoot

The same old path I took each day; No encounters were received. Just a plain old trek; the same old way; So monotonous I believed. Sure, the gardens, they were lovely; So many different trees; Roots poured on further daily; Their beauty greatly pleased. Still the walk, it got so old; One morning it all changed. I passed beneath a giant oak; Where sat a feathered Sage. “Hello Sir,” I greeted, “You’re a handsome owl”; but, he just cried, “hoot, hooty”; as I stood there in the breeze.

I am always so tickled when an owl comes to roost somewhere close. It has happened more than once in my lifetime, pleasing me so! This tribute is so wonderful!

It's such a spiritual moment when another being walks up to you or comes around you and totally trusts and such a beautiful moment when you show it that, it can trust you. It's an indescribable harmony. Thanks.
