They will do tricks for you. If you talk to them. That’s because you’ll startle them and they’ll do acrobats mid-air to try to understand your bad accent.
Don’t worry. They’ll repeat what they think you said so you can get it right. You’re up to this. Don’t worry. They’ll always have the first word…and the last. But you’re good with humility, right? Sure you are!
This is a waterfall. It is not a swan.
Ah, but this is a waterfall, too, the same one, in fact, a little later in time, and flowing up against 8500 year old lava, and it is not a swan, either.
Many days and years of this waterfall are not swans either, but they do lure swans down from the sky, and become filled with their spirit.
It would be fair to say they were their spirit all along.
Some things take time, that’s all.
Booting around in the rocks and rain near Laxáholl today in this time of climate change, I met an Icelander having lunch (dried berries).
I think snow would be a good idea.
Soon.
