  • It's beautiful, but a little scary. Weird, but not in a bad way!

      The eyes are on its goal. The facial ring is tense to collect every piece of sonic data. We know that a silent dive is about to occur and the talons will swing forward and load themselves with shocking energy to snap closed on impact.

      There's no maliciousness or ego. The owl is just doing the job it was made to do. The quirky moments that make us adore the owls are nowhere to be seen right now. We are only left with an untamed wild instinct that makes us respect them.

      While we share the same physical world, moments like this show us we don't really live in the same reality anymore as these creatures like we once did, thousands of years ago. Seeing moments like this reminds us of the gap between us and the wild we have left, and the duality we have built between civilization and the primal.

      Or something like that, maybe... 🤪
