As I was driving to the MSP airport to pick up some passengers, I noticed a bald eagle hunting over the woodlands of the Minnesota River.
It was a glorious sight.
Then I thought, observing nature and her creatures is endlessly fascinating and enjoyable, but it would not due or be respectful to the bird of prey to romanticize about its activities above the woods along the river.
Life and death are always intermingled int he world of nature. That eagle was hunting for a rabbit who would need to give up its life so that the eagle might survive.
Nature seems to go on forever, evolving, changing, and becoming. The life of one creature allows another creature to live for awhile. It is a harsh, competitive beautiful theater of action, is the natural world, but we must encounter her as she is, not as we wish to perceive her.
