The
marsh is a place of vibrant life - and sudden death. Flowers
so delicate that the touch of a boat will bruise the
blooms can over run the river making it impassible. Jewel
toned dragonflies fly swiftly on their delicate wings
to capture and eat mosquitos and mud
daubers. A snake can move with equal ease on water,
land or straight up a tree to rob a nest of it's young.
You
might be enjoying a beautiful scene of fluffy clouds and
graceful birds and suddenly notice a 10 foot alligator
rising almost imperceptibly to the surface of the water
nearby. Or basking in the bright sunshine one moment and
seeking shelter from a raging thunderstorm the next.
Some
people might find all this distressing. I find it exciting,
and take joy in the contrasts all around. Even the tiniest,
most fragile little insects and plants have strengths that
may not be immediately apparent, and even the largest and
most frightening creatures have their enemies. Life is
beautiful and fragile and should be enjoyed to the utmost,
because you may not be as high on the food chain as you
think.
