Lying in wait, the ginger cat stared intently at the sparrow. It was having a grand time leaping from branch to branch of the flower-laden shrub, unaware of the imminent danger. I held my breath. In front of me was an existential example of nature as it is, not as we would like it to be.
As I watched, more sparrows arrived. Like a liberating army of feathered comrades, the sparrows began harassing the ginger cat. The strategy worked. The cat withdrew from the encounter, slinking away.
I was reminded that Nature’s antidote to adversity is the power of collaboration.
