On
the woodpile were Chipmunk, Wren, and Snake. Chipmunk and Wren may
have been hunting, but I could not see why Snake was there. It was
too early for sunning, and lying on top of a log on top of the
woodpile provided no cover for hunting. I generally resist the
temptation to describe my creature cousin's actions in human terms,
but I have seen more and more often creatures acting in ways that
don't fit into the limited group of options my culture has allowed
them. Snake didn't seem to be hunting, hiding, or mating. What if she
was just hanging out? What if she wasn't doing anything? Today, I
will be on the lookout for actions that stand outside of what I
expect. What effect will this have on my ideas about what is
possible?
