Diary 306

Monday, January 18th. MLK Day.

Walking by the river today I saw a young beaver swimming energetically by the bank. I think the swift currents had moved it well downstream from its usual habitat. It’s good to know our local river supports not only many types of birds, fish and reptiles but mammals too.

And I wondered how many people have been swept away by the recent tide of events, ending up in strange and perhaps alarming spaces. Now we all have to find our way home.
