Generally speaking, I love the way you see the world. However, the thought of becoming an earthworm, and, ultimately being digested by a robin, does give me pause. That said, I’ve always loved the idea of singing at dawn, even though I am pretty certain the world would not appreciate my effort because I can’t sing in the body I have. But, I do know I would always want to hear your song! Thank you for “singing” in every season.
That is so sweet Mark! But yes, to be able to sing in such a way that other beings stop and listen would be so satisfying, Now, everyone just turns the coffee grinder on high.
Thank you for bringing attention to earthworm life. My concern with being an earthworm is the poor decision making of earthworms. When it rains, they tend to make the poor decision to leave their earthly home, head out to the asphalt covered world, and proceed to get baked to a crisp by the sun! When we take a post rain early morning walk we try and save earthworm lives by picking them up and tossing them back into the grass, but we are only able to save a half dozen and we leave hundreds which will soon be worm crisps. I think this is why you strongly suggest being a forest bound earthworm. You always know the best way to handle life’s challenges, even if they take more than a ratchet strap!
Thank you, Ethan! The latest theory as to why worms leave their burrows after a rainstorm (even though they can live for days submerged in a flooded tunnel) - is because they can! Usually, they can't survive on the surface because it's too dry and the sun is too hot, and the rain makes it hospitable to go out and look for love. or at least a mate - actually it's more of a sperm donor than a mate - but anyway... It's a lot easier to find a mate if they leave their burrow ( a problem introverts of all species have been coping with for a Millenium) Unfortunately, their evolution hasn't caught up to asphalt roadways.
I did not know that about worms and the forest......too bad they do help the native plants by making the soil rich. Oh wait, I think I hear you singing???Oh bummer it only is the wind, I still have to wait 3 months for spring.

Don't worry, I will tap on the window and let you know when spring has arrived.
What no song??
Of course! Just going to make sure I have your attention first.
