Ravens and Coyotes

Twice this has happened to me in walks in my neighborhood with my dog, Colt. First, I noticed a group of 4-6 ravens circling and cawing loudly. Then I saw the coyote. The first time, it was a group of coyotes ahead, and I turned around and went the other way. The next time, it was only one, behind us, not following, but I blew my air horn anyway, and he moved away faster. After having a close encounter with a coyote several weeks ago, I pay close attention to the behavior of ravens.

The point I want to make with this blog is that so often I am so preoccupied with my own thoughts that I don’t pay attention to what’s in front of me and to encourage you, dear reader, to live in the moment, fully present.

You write or draw it: How “in the present” are you?
