I had no idea that something so small (the birth of three golden chicks)
could be so big
(I am totally smitten)
I watch them learning day by day
and am surprised by their rapid growth.
I watch them understanding the language of
"here is food" which elicits a certain call
"here is danger" which elicits another
when at the age of four days the chickens came out
and a crow flew over
the young chicken ran for cover under a plank
hardwired?
"Is not the core of nature, in the heart of man?"
"Is not the core of nature, in the heart of man?"
It really is such a wonder-- all babies of all animals are so cute and adorable.. even when my one year old grandson comes to visit we all just sit around and watch him play and toddle around.
