The Squirrel

June 10th, 2008 by Locke in Daily Life, Humor, Spiritual Journey

     We have so much
       to learn from animals.

     Look at the squirrel;
       Not one to complain.

     Just busy finding nuts
       and storing them.

      His is serious work.
        He knows Winter is near.

      Each step, each nut
       is the difference between
       Life and death.

      How’re we doing
       with our gathering?

      Yesterday, I found
           a few.

      But, today I have
       to go to  the city.

       Tomorrow, I may be
          travelling.

       I’ll never manage
         this way.

       Winter is coming
         I’m way behind
        schedule.
