Back To Home Page To Archives - Spring of Life - H. Roger Bothwell Our Christmas Goose Our Christmas goose flew across the yard this morning. He and eleven companions honked their way past at tree top level announcing to all who would listen that they were not going south for the winter. As I watched them glide down into the valley I realized what a perfect animal they are. They can walk, sort of, swim, excellently, and fly, magnificently." We also had turkey for Christmas. Just after noon I noticed our dog staring intently out the window. There were nine wild turkeys scarfing down the cracked corn we spread out for whatever needed a Christmas dinner. Our snow-covered table was also visited by sparrows, doves, chickadees, cardinals, blue jays and of course squirrels. We did not have to worry about spending Christmas day alone. Our world is a splendid place teeming with life, even during winter. There are so many marvelous arrangements of protons and electrons. Until very recently we thought all matter was composed of such. The biggest science idea of 2003 is protons and electrons only comprise 4% of matter. The rest is dark energy or dark matter. Whatever it is, it is the opposite of gravity and like a mysterious force it is spreading our universe ever wider. In case you are wondering what I am talking about, so am I wondering what I am talking about. There is so much to learn, so much to study and so much to see. How thrilling it is that our creator made it possible for us to live forever because it is going to take forever to learn it all.
