One and eight, the call of infinity
Sitting on the lake house porch within feet of the water’s edge brings innumerable joys. This morning did not disappoint.
First was the call of a single loon almost right beside me. From the other side of the point I heard a loon return the call. Within the minute eight loons swam around the point and into the small swimming bay where the single loon was. One and eight. I don't study numerology, but a good friend of mine does. She was quick to point out the meanings of the numbers one and eight.
One stands for unity. Eight stands for infinity.
I looked up to see an eagle flying low and close. It landed on the tallest tree on the tiny island that separates our swimming bay from the open water.
Then, to my utter surprise, the mergansers ( large sea ducks) paddled in and climbed on the rocks Duncan's mother had named when she was coming to the lake cottage as a child--Big Turtle and Little Turtle. As they settled, I counted. 21 mergansers in the swimming bay!
What a day for wildlife. I'm quite sure I've never seen so many of God's creatures in the bay at one time.
I love the freedom of these wild creatures on the lake. They seem undisturbed. Though the nephew saw the eagle swoop down and carry off a duckling early summer. Life eating life. It's both unity and infinity.
I hope you have the freedom and opportunity to see unfenced wild creatures or you visit zoos.
My friend recently returned from an African photographic safari where the animals roam wild--no fences-- sometimes in unity and sometimes in infinity, or so it appears.
For your domestic animals though, you need a fence! Call Terry T2C to help you make your fence selection. She is ready to help!
Grab your camera and plan a trip to a zoo, a wildlife park, or head to Africa for a safari.
All my best regards in gratitude,
