It is not common to see such sights in our garden when an Owl and Squirrel meet face to face in the morning.
The Owl was like statue on that branch. A squirrel during its gleeful morning playfulness by hopping between branches at about seventy meters height, happened to move in one direction, where the Owl was stoically quiet under the cover of foliage. Noticing the Owl the squirrel went close while paused to watch for an adverse signals form the Owl. The Squirrel remained in the immediate proximity of the Owl looking into its face for a few seconds and swiftly turned around to carry on in its mission.
The Owl stayed on in its still mood till it was disturbed by a crow!
It was amazing to watch the neighbourly feeling that a Squirrel and Own shared!
If I had the personal E-mail Id of the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan, I would have forwarded this to invite them to think of each other as neighbours for ever!
When we fail to think soberly of each other as friendly nations, the lesser beings in nature give us a glimpse of how we ought to be to each other as nations!
There is a space for peace at a time such as this, if only we return to value the common heritage of the two nations!
