so i came home from work friday and this is what it looked like outside my front door. we've been seeing this little flock around town as it looks like they are in demand for natural landscaping. they do a pretty good job too. except friday it was raining steadily all day and these guys looked none too happy about it.
many of them just seemed to wander around unknowingly, and the ones who better understood their condition took what shelter they could beneath trees and bushes. the sheepdogs just parked themselves and waited it out.
i don't know what it is that i find so enjoyable about having them as temporary neighbors. if i lived in the country i might have lost interest already. i think it's the contrast of country and city. very much like the buffalo that roam part of golden gate park in san francisco. you can drive down john f. kennedy drive heading to the sea and suddenly there they are! and you are transported to the plains.
whatever it is i welcome the opportunity to meditate on space shared with these animals and study them as i ask myself "goat or sheep, which am i?"
