During one particularly dark time in scotland...i went out on my bike late at night to clear my head...the roads were unlit so just my light lit up the road ahead...my head was spinning with far too many things on my mind....i was heading down a tree lined road with the rain coming down...suddenly out of the woods by the side of the road a deer jumps out right in front of me...scared the life out of me. I slowed down and it stops....turns...and looks straight at me for a few seconds as if he was telling me something. Suddenly my mind cleared and i smiled at the deer...he then leapt over the hedge on the other side of the road and disappeared into the night.
I think i probably fed off that moment for a week or so.
Chance encounters with animals always seem to have an effect on me.
It's the little moments and gestures that make the biggest difference.
Nice story Corny.
