I went for a walk at carp beach yesterday at low tide and there was a flock of gules setting on the beach and a 5 to 7 year old girl was making them fly by walking through them and they would lift off the sand like a giant blanket and slide around in formation in the wind to land 20 feet away. it was spectacular and as I was getting into my car to leave she was walking through them but they had grown acustom to here lack of mallice and just looked up at her. may we all walk through this day with that same lack of mallice and still get the birds to fly.
