The lessons they teach me consist of 'slow down, there's nowhere you need to be in any kind of hurry'. The only wild turkey I ever encountered before returning to Maine was in a glass. I like this feathered version much better.<br /><br />Totems, portents, 'signs'--whatever works to give you a respite to reflect is all good.Lord Wellbournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16871295386557996816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-52755426450519614892010-02-13T09:03:36.051-05:002010-02-13T09:03:36.051-05:00Glad you had a pleasant day at work.
