Day 3 - 21 -- Nearing the End of the Week

It seemed that it should be the end of the week today, when in fact it was the penultimate day instead. Events of the day went fairly well with a couple major items being knocked of the 'to do' list. The cold symptoms are changing, which I am taking as a good sign of things taking their course. <smile> I had several wonderful conversations with students today; it is a joy getting to know them a bit more by moving beyond just the course material and assignment details.

Walking home tonight was pleasant. The sun had not fully set yet, so the sky colours of blues with clouds and the rising moon were very clear. One just needs to look up instead of at the slush and such on the walkways <smile>. I paused a few times to look at the almost full moon. The crows were just congregating by the cathedral so the sky was filled with the usual suspects as the murder gathered. Even after I was across the brook and amongst the traffic of Main Street, I could hear them and stood to watch them flying black against the darkening sky. Its very interesting to watch them fly as a group.This was more like a group of individuals than seen with other species like starlings that fly as a unit. It just made me think again that crows seem to be fiercely individual even when working as a team or gathering as a community. Very intriguing creatures.

The song for today reflects the day of the week and the need to take a moment and notice the world around us. The lyrics cover that need to move outside ourselves and see that we are individuals but can function in union with others. The version shared here has an interesting, if not eclectic,  arrangement. Enjoy!
