Bats or Humans

I watch the bats fly around from tree to tree on my nightly walks through the town. They seem so free. They have their purpose ingrained and they move through their life as it has been for centuries. I like that I am part of a species that can change and decide to be different. It does sometimes have it's disadvantages. Such as when there is so much opportunity and ability the unknown can be very uncomfortable. I am lucky that in this lifetime that I have the ability to be where I am and doing what I am doing. I know that I gripe at times, but really I have an amazing life. Thanks to my family and friends. I don't really understand it. What I mean by "it", is that when ever I am in need of something, some how the world provides it for me. It might now be right in the moment but eventually it is there for me. I have had many troubles in my life and I don't think that now I get the easy road because I paid my dues. That isn't what I think at all. But I am saying that I have some sort of connection or relation to the rest of the world and when things need to be there, they are there. Or I know how to scout them out. Like a strange animistic system of knowing things. I don't know why I know the things I know. I realized this about 5 months ago. I was cutting green onions for dinner and I thought that perhaps if the onions were cold they would cut better, you know without bruising. I turned and said to Fred, I once heard... then I stopped in the middle of my sentence and thought. Why the hell did I say I once heard. I don't know why. Maybe I saw it somewhere and don't really remember, but that isn't it. Because I have a crazy memory about everything. Is it because I don't want to give credit to my own original thoughts or theories. Not sure about that. Or is it because I heard it from the onions. Sounds crazy, right? I'm not sure if this is true or not but Ben Franklin said that he used to have information transmitted to him. From where I don't know, but perhaps it that information was transmitted to me. Similar to how bats transmit information to each other and teach their young where and when to feed. Like some sort of internal/reptilian knowledge. Who knows. So would you like to live "freely" or have your life settled for you and enjoy the moments that are really yours, when you get them? I think that either life has what it has, but the value doesn't change. It is still life.
