The More Evolved

Cloudy with a continued chance of overcast. Frosty mornings. Colorless days. Long dark cold nights.

Somehow - I've learned to embrace this.
Just this.
This too. 
Today.

They surprised me.
Very few of the farm animals remain outside - still - to play. 
I'm sure I surprised them too. I wondered.

I looked at their faces.
Each and every one so distinctively different than another. And yet - so much the same.

I thought about who it is that is the more evolved species? Is it we humans? Or them? 

We want to believe It's us.
That we're superior - thinking...feeling...doing and accomplishing - beings.
That they are limited. That we are not.

Today - I'm not so sure.
In their differences they - somehow - know that they are all the same.
They accept.
They allow.
They share. 

You tell me. 
Is it we? Or - is it them?
