Murky, But Not a Monster
People say my pond is haunted because they cannot see the bottom.
Good. That is why I like it.
From down here, I can see them very well. Their legs hang over the dock. Their shadows move on the water.
They think something is waiting to eat them.
It is not.
I am waiting for them to go away, so I can come up for air.
Humans are loud. Humans throw stones. Humans point and shout.
I am just an alligator. I want to be alone in the murky water.
And the murkiest thing in this pond is not me.
It is them.

I think all animals in nature feel the same. We are the spoilers to their habitat. Quite unfortunate that us humans don’t see that. But I am glad to see there are many conservationists around the world who really care and do things to help protect them. Hope alligator gets his me time away from humans.

You said it so well. I think the kindest thing we can do for them is just to give them a little space to just be. They were doing okay before we came with our ideas of helping.
I really hope he gets that me time he deserve too.
