We go for an after-dinner stroll every evening around the village. Tonight, we were out just before sundown, walking around as it began to get dark. Suddenly we noticed something zipping through the air in great big arcs. The bats were out for their pre-dinner stroll. They whiz around, chasing each other, flying right over our heads.
There is something very comforting about bats on patrol. They seem to come just so close, veering away before they crash. I love the fact that we live in a place where bats are an important part of the environment – an indicator that nature is all around us. We certainly can live in harmony with nature if we slow down and take the time to see what is all around us, swirling around our heads, zipping in and out of our lives like the wonderful bats.
