These warm early fall days have really brought out the squirrels in our neighborhood. They seem to be quite busy getting ready for winter. Eating berries from our thorn-bush, digging up nuts stored in the yard, reinforcing their tree top nests.
As the go about their business they dart and dash throughout the neighborhood. They run carelessly amid what most would consider extreme danger – dancing across the narrow slats of our wooden fence, scampering through the treetops on thin branches that sag with their weight, even dashing along a high wire running through a neighboring yard.
All this they do without concern, or at least visible concern, when a single slip could mean death or injury. I would be paralyzed with fright. I get sweaty palms just thinking about it.
But the squirrels – they dance!
Even when the going is tough ...
Even when it seems the only line of support is thin and tenuous ...
Even when bad things could happen when one fails ...
Even when the wind is blowing ...
Even when things don’t go smoothly ...
Even when the work is hard ...
Even when things are slippery ...
Squirrels dance.
They dance!
Do you see what I see?
There are a lot more opportunities to dance!
