about Balance in Nature

These are Mice living in the Field.

Not the same like those

coming

in to your dwelling.

They are very timid animals

and

dare to move only

in the dark.

It's an owl living in the wild.

A night hunter

with incredible fine

eyesight

capable of flying

in total silence.

From here on anybody can guess, that the

Balance in Nature

comes from the arrangement that the owl's

food is almost only mice.

And Nature provide plenty and wisely.

Up until the humans come about

and stupid as they can be

upset the order of Nature:

It is a true story:

a block away from my house was a very nice little meadow

with wild Flowers and with not much human interference.

In the tall grass was wonderful to take a rest,

look up the sky

and see the clouds playing around.

But one day a "wise guy" in the local

authorities got his eyes on this abandoned

piece of land.

They decided to "improve it"

No need to tell the destruction they created for months to come.

The vegetation was totally destroyed with bulldozers,

and the animals who lived there

were chased out and away.

So the mice came to my house and garden,

the owl was crying at night on the lamp poles

the rabbits ran a little further

and were other creatures not even to mention.

After months with noise and dust upsetting the entire

neighborhood

the project was finished

and the

improved land was dedicated

in a ceremony to a war hero.

After the crowd left the place got empty

and remained empty:

nobody wanted to go there

where actually was

not much to go for anyway.

This happened couple of years ago

and as wise as Nature is:

the wild Flowers started to grow back,

the mice went back also and the owl followed them.

About the humans?

no, not many. Some times

you could see somebody

bringing a dog for his/her daily walk.

And

Yes, I can hear the owls

at night: hu-hu, hu-hu

Life is gooooood.
