This got me thinking about being flexible and how the more of a bendy approach to life you take the easier it can be. Living with two rather greedy mules I have to be a little flexible in my approach to ensuring I am fed adequately. I've learnt that if I let them both argue with each other about who's haynet it is or which tuft of grass belongs to who they forget that I'm there and I can sneak in when they're not looking! Being the diddiest member of the gang I can also reach my head under the lowest of fences and I have been known to sink on to my knees to commando crawl under the rails.... see flexibility in approach brings rewards!
I have also noticed that if I take the longest to come in from the paddock at night FH gets a little concerned and fends off the others while I receive my yummy banana peel or vitamin pellets, if you are just quiet and slow you get all the hugs and cuddles - everyone loves on underdog (that should be underpony I think!)
So here's my quote for the day!
Haha! Funny guy! Shy has also been seen getting on her knees for a piece of hay.
ReplyDeleteYou sure are one smart pony!
Dear Roller, thank you for this wonderful quote. As we say in the martial arts world: be strong and flexible as water. The ocean waves pound with immense force, yet water also runs through your fingers and cannot be caught.
ReplyDeleteI can see Callie here bending like a lovely shoreline wave. And, oh, I would love to see that commando crawl!.
I enjoyed your Friday thoughts, Roller. Thank you.
