Today I witnessed a most curious event, which I feel is somehow filled with import and deep meaning, yet, not entirely confident of said significance … I will encourage you to draw your own conclusions and interpret this as you wish. I will, however, humbly offer up a few of my own ideas on this matter.
Earlier, I saw a 6 pound male duck take on a 1,400 pound horse and drive him away from a water tank in an effort to keep him away from his woman (a female duck).
From this, I believe that we can learn:
A) Sometimes your courage can outweigh your intelligence.
B) It is not your size or strength that determines your fate, but rather the force of your will.
C) Springtime brings out strange behavior in males.
Use this as you will to enrich your heart toward greater courage, determination, and enjoyment of Spring today.
See below, our hero, with his lady in the foreground, stage right. And our antagonist on the left.
Reading your post, envisioning a duck and horse confrontation…I was reminded of a poem, Will, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. It begins: “There is no chance, no destiny, no fate can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul. Gifts count for nothing; will alone is great; all things give way before it soon or late. What obstacle can stay the mighty force of the sea-seeking river in it’s course, or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?” Thus, picturing Mr. Duck vs. Mr. Horse, I am struck with “where do I make my stand, exercise my will?” And thus, am encouraged, inspired, challenged. Thank you.
