The rooster and perception

We have a rooster where we live. We do not OWN the rooster yet I hear his crows all the time. I love love love that. It makes me feel like we live in the country but we really don't. See how it's all perception? Life is perception. I swear to you, that's all it is. It's not what it is, it's what you THINK it is.

That rooster might crow in the morning, he might crow in the afternoon, personally, I think he's a little mixed up. I love it just the same. When I hear the "er er er er rooooo" I smile. Sometimes I say, "Noah, did you hear the rooster?" "Yes Mom, I heard the rooster". I also think Noah doesn't think it's as cool as I do. The 'Yes Mom' is said rather hum drum.

We have this small man made lake in the back. Across that little lake, lives a family who has this rooster. When you look over there, they have so much land around them (we are in a subdivision) they act like they live on a farm. I love that! It makes ME feel like I'm on a farm. And you know what that does to the brain? It calms it. Wierd huh? I look over there a lot. It matters not that we still live in the city because it feels different. Just like you think people take you one way because it's how you mean to portray yourself and really, you are coming across totally opposite. Perception. It's all about perception. I have to tell you, I love that little rooster, he really makes me think. But then again, these days, that's all I do. Thanks to my little angel man, Lucas tookis, just call me 'the thinker'.
