One Mindful Moment

Prey

Is this how it feels

To be a fish

gazing up from a pool

or a vole in the undergrowth?

Crows

(Tree of Crows - Caspar David Friedrich, 1822, Musee du Louvre, Paris)

From bare branches, against the low November sun, three crows fly up.

Below them, across ploughed earth - the guns.
