February 27, 2024—Malibu
Sitting at a stoplight on PCH, a small creature that is not the usual four legged vagabond in this hood, scampered out into the middle of the intersection, stopped, looked and sniffed, changed his mind and direction, and suddenly made a run for the grass on the side of the road. Just then a giant hawk swooped down, snatched him up and off they flew, wings gliding and hysterically thrashing legs.
My heart throbbed and sank. Life on earth.
Surprises jump out from behind bushes and down from the sky randomly, on us all.
I am not crazy about rats, but there was something “Litte Prince-ish” about this one….it became personal.
Bless his little heart and may he come back as a magnificent hawk next time ‘round.
