Yesterday I saw the weirdest thing.

Everyday I walk to Wholefoods for lunch, and sometimes I will stay there and eat, but most of the time I will walk back to the office and eat there. Well I am walking back and I cut across this small patch of grass and this fat mouse goes running right across my path. So now I'm all concerned because I am right next to a road and I know that no one will brake for a mouse!! Now if you had seen me at this point you would have thought that I was straight up off my rocker. Here I am attempting to steer this mouse towards the field on the other side of Bed Bath and Beyond and away from the road.. of course.. no one could see the mouse.

I'm Sure that you can imagine my dismay and panic.. when the first thing the mouse does (rather than run to the field) is run into the street. Yes I know.. laugh now get it over with.. I will step into traffic to keep a mouse from getting smooshed. Ok so that sounds more dramatic than it really is. I mean I did follow it into the street to make sure that it didn't get hit by a car, but it wasn't a really busy road. So it makes it safely to the other side but it is still running like a maniac and I can't figure out why because I wasn't anywhere near it anymore. And then I see why.. The mouse is being chased by a bird. OOOOO scaaarry!! No it's being chased by a sparrow, the nuts thing about this is that this bird is the same, if not smaller, size as the mouse!! What in the hell is this bird going to do with the mouse if he "catches" it?? Eat it? Feed it to his young?? I shit you not I watched this sparrow dive bomb and attempt to pick up the mouse all the way down the sidewalk. I am still amazed!!

It's funny that while I am writing this it has me thinking about things in my own life. How many times have I let things that are smaller or less than me, things that I know that I can easily overcome, send me running into traffic? Sometimes I feel like there are things in my life that are coming to feed me to their young and rather than letting people guide me to a field I just panic and get stuck between a brick wall and a very angry sparrow!!
