Peacocks Dance


I went into my backyard. Winter sun, lonely, some peacocks, and parrots. I love the pine trees duo. I had gone with headphones and the mobile in case I get a call, generally upset about the power cut that pulled me away from the computer screen.

I plug in the headphones and there's music, I had missed yoga in the morn. I start with that intention and end up just dancing. Something amazing happened. I never knew peacock was fond of dance, not like that. (I sometimes feed these dozens of peacocks in the backyard and since the past year and half have begun to understand my shy neighbors) Peacocks looked on, amazed, and danced too! This time of the year they are still growing new feathers (they shed them each year) and they dont generally dance in groups, not with humans. This happened for some time and I ended up just looking at them till both sides humans and peacocks lost the natural wonder. I am back on my desk, with, as if, heady pleasure.
