A Lesson in Calmness …

… by this adolescent grebe after the storms that have played havoc with the reed beds and small islands near the Villeneuve hide. She seemed to be giving me a lesson in « resting in your inner calm » having probably lost her home. Then I returned to the car which wouldn’t start! The knock on effects of that compounded another car problem and I was not as calm as this little grebe for most of the day where everything was running late. 
Over and over again, I just can’t imagine the horrors so many people in war zones are going through and I feel ashamed of my own reactions to what are relatively small things.
