Like Water

This is the second or third time that I've run into these Ducks at the local lagoon we have officially named "The Pool of Pippin."

It's a river mouth that runs into the sea. A 30 second walk and you're there. Just across the beach.

They're not supposed to be there. I mean... talk about ducks out of water. Or in water but definitely not in their natural habitat. I wonder who they escaped from?

Regardless, they're wonderful to see. I reckon because it's a surprise.

On the day I took this footage, in particular, they were revelling obviously in their swim. Loving every minute! Their enjoyment was palpable.

Yes. I did join them a few short minutes later.

Who could resist?

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
 
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.”
