Changing Tides

Odette sat on the edge of the inlet, basking in the sunlight during the last few minutes of her free time before she would be forced to return to the hen house. It was good, honest work, and it kept Odette busy where she would otherwise be bored. However, hearing the constant chirps and callings of hens, chicks, and roosters, just a few yards from her den site, meant the female had grown to appreciate pure silence. It was deafening, in a way, but it was peaceful as well. Here her ears could focus on the soft ripples of the tide, or the sound of the wind rusting through the grass. It was relaxing to say the least. However while her body may be relaxed, her mind seemed to be constantly running, as questions continued to pop into her head; What started a breeze? When did a river stop flowing? How do the plants come back after winter? Where do the bugs go?

She sighed softly to herself as she laid down between the tall blades of grass, rolling onto her back so she may watch the blades dance in the breeze and the clouds move across the sky. Her mind constantly moving like the winds of nature, but her body stilled like the earth beneath. Odette let out a long breath once more before letting her eyes fall close.. just for a moment or two, as she tried to will her brain to come to a stop.
