On my walk to the library this morning I noticed a group of three magpies searching through the pine needles and pinecones beneath a tree, chirping to eachother and digging through the detritus with flicking movements of their beaks; a small chipmunk watched from a nearby branch and chirped to himself contemplatively, finally deciding to chase the magpies away (only to have them fly away, do a lap of the tree, and land on the other side of the trunk in their continued search for food). I stood and watched for several minutes, completely absorbed by the display, without thinking about myself or my life or my problems. I felt very content.
