| Mother's Day Chicken Lesson |
| 05.09.04 (3:26 pm) [edit] |
I have a lot of wild chickens around here. They start crowing at 3 a.m. and stop long after dark. They also like to nibble in the garden and because I can't trap or kill them (oh, I could but I can't), I spray them with the hose. Usually it barely takes the sound of me picking up the hose and they run away but this chicken was letting me blast her, basically like a human being hit with a fire hose.
I didn't understand it until I heard the cheep cheep of babies, maybe 8 or 9, scuttling around. She was willing to take that blast to make sure they were safe, now frantic in fear for them but still offering herself as the target. As soon as I saw the babies I thought, it's Mother's Day, you get a reprieve...because. Because there is no one in the world who wouldn't want a mother that fierce, that steadfast, that willing to protect us as children in the event of danger. And how many of us never had that? For such a brave mother - I salute. We mothers love the best we can and hope for the best. Chicken mothers too.
