2 birds
I saw 2 birds flying together. These ducks are common birds and there is nothing so special about it. But I think about it deeper. They can not speak. The communication is very limited. Thinking on higher abstract levels is very limited and certainly there is no bird who can express to his friend or partner bird: “Let us fly to the other lake now, there is still lots of green grass and I am hungry now.”.
How is this being done? At first you sit as a bird at one place and then you and your partner “decide?” to leave to a better place. I am not here about the group dynamics of a group or even large group of birds. Only these two fellows who hang out together are causing me feel astonished.
Who are these 2 ducks doing it? One must take the lead. I guess this is not always the same bird. If one bird has a demand, this one goes ahead. Some other time the other bird has a demand and takes the leadership.
What must connect them is just a kind of incredible trust and faith.
Whaaooo! The world may be hard and you as 1 bird in a partnership of two just follow without knowing where to fly and for what. This bound must be so strong. Probably not comparable with the bound between common humans. Now, I find out that I start comparing 2 kind of beings. Anyway.
Would that be love between these 2 birds? Could it be called love? What are the triggers to start it and what to end it? Some birds hang out as a couple forever. I don’t want to be here an evolutionary psychologist. .. but seeing these 2 bird flying I realize that in common things may be true greatness hidden. I bow down for that. I bow down to these 2 birds. I bow down to the idea behind it and that faith. I envy these 2 birds. I am not that great but I would like to be it.
