I thought myself brave to allow her to approach me so.
When did I start thinking this way? And even more - why?

It was less about me…and more about she -
When was the last time she was allowed the company and grace of a 2-legged human?
Because you never do know who you might meet
When walking…in the quiet solitude of the early morning.
They appeared happy to greet me…
As i greeted them from the safety of my six-foot distance.
I thought - we shouldn’t go on meeting like this.
And then - I thought again.
What a gift it is that - tomorrow - we might.
I watched this nanny goat lead her kids into the barn.
I watched as she gently nudged…more aggressively herded…and finally shouted:
Come. Rain is coming. We must all go inside.
I watched as one quietly complied…while the other diddled and balked and dug in her heels:
I’ll come when I’m ready…not when you say.
I’ll take my own sweet time.
