The other day at the beach,
there was a pelican sitting in the water minding her own business,
who would stretch her long neck and reach into the water.
Then she would point her beak up to the sky revealing a full gullet,
swallow and go on minding her own business.
When a wave threatened her, would she rise into the air,
only to return again on top of the sea and wait,
and not long,
as there must have been a lot of fish in those waves.
Sometimes life's blessings just come to us,
with little or no effort,
all we have to do is show up!
Pelicans, St. Augustine Beach, February 2015.
