I'm opening the back door to let a fly out of the house.
As I pulled the screen door open it startled the fly.
Without hesitation it instantly turned changing course and flew back into the house further away from it's freedom.
Poor fly... that was a wrong move.
The dogs love trying to chomp and snap at flies in mid-flight.
<bizzzzz>
<BINK> Darn it.
My empathy is wearing thin from it darting at my head as if it is on a Kamikaze mission.
Buzz...zzzz..zz...
OK. Maybe it will follow my head back to the door.
Let's try this again.
I am opening the screen door now... again it darts away into the kitchen.
I have to do the dishes anyway.. so let's prop open the kitchen window screen for an exit.
The little guy should catch on soon.
Darn it!
Buzz.. zzzzz.. zzzz.. buzzz..
WACK!
That's it. WACK.
Got it.
It should have seen the many opportunities and flown through the door.
I'll think of this as I meditate later and if at times I'm like the fly.
I invite you to do the same during your next contemplative moment.
We would love for you to return and post a comment about your reflective time and any insights you might share.
