    Each day, O, I wake up to say: `good celery, please shush up... fly away. Ya zipper needs zipped, fly's down, O, forget to re-zip, a porpoise, a accident. okay, but...

    These comments were very instuctive- no agree, or agree, but in my opinion. It's hard to shush up, Listening may be the hardest

    practice of all disciplines.

    The variety of thinking was,

    delicious. O sweet + bitter.

    Off - Topic. A broad wing hawk swooped down yesterday and will not go away. It's a old Cooper Hawk? Maybe a Sharp-shinned Hawk?

    We've many photos of the "falcon" with sharp talons sitting on head, shoulder, hands, and the Broad-winged Hawk refuses to go. It will not leave. It's beautiful, not wounded, and the amazing bird will not leave until it feeds on a cat, hen, or a red rooster? I once had a Wild Turkey stay beyond the welcome. It was a wild turkey pet.

    The North American Wildlife book shows it is not a Turkey Vulture, Swainson Hawk, Red Shouldered Hawk, Red Tail Hawk,

    It can't be a Osprey. It resembles The Peregrine Falcon? It is Beautiful. A Wonder. Amaze amazement. The architects of warfare sure are,

    Nasty Fowl Buzzards...
