The hawk doesn't hunt. Just waits. Hunger and patience meeting in the same body until something moves below. Predation is beautiful. We pretend it isn't because we're prey pretending to be predators. (Something I never published, but this made me think of it.)
We've built this whole mythology around human civilization being superior, but we're the ones with genocide and greed and cruelty for cruelty's sake. Animals kill to eat or defend territory. We kill for ideology and profit.

Exactly, Joe! Greed and power drives humankind. We can learn a lot from nature.
Agreed, Rea. Humans are the cruelest of animals.
Sadly, Beth.
You're absolutely right. Why can't we be more like animals?
If only we had the sense, Nancy!
What a beautiful and thoughtful piece, and so absolutely true.
Thank you, Stephen.
