I observed both colonies of birds the geese and herons, for several moments as each group\u00a0interacted among themselves. Both groups of birds with vary different characteristics are sharing and occupying the same space, time, and resources without laying claim to territory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_957\" style=\"width: 402px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-957\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-957\" alt=\"diversity earth nations1\" src=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/diversity-earth-nations1.jpg\" width=\"392\" height=\"588\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">diversity earth nations 1<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then as a common \u00a0occasion, the voice of silence speaks directly to my mind.

Its empire stretched beyond its solar system and the inhabitants occupied every planet, asteroid, and moon. They were benevolent and conciliatory in their actions; the most powerful toward the lesser; the musk-ox thunderously stomped along the outer edge of galactic devices in its movement, kept a keen eye on the lowly prairie dog to be unharmed.<\/p>\n<p>Here, kingdoms of earth are quite the opposite; forged by size, shape, and color of men. All religions, all kingdoms of earth and their proposed treaties for peace represent covert continual deceit, declaration of silent murder genocide, a perpetual existence that\u00a0seeks to exterminate all other kingdoms fueled by religion and color of men? In testament to this statement is countless glorious ruins, ancient &amp; modern, from the bottom of the sea, and found on every continent. Here in plain site, across eons of time, lay all the evidence&#8230; that only cannibalistic kingdoms inhabit earth,\u00a0all the\u00a0plundered\u00a0ruins of past and pillage of current nations (the stronger pillaging the weak) support this claim.<\/p>\n<p>Stolen Titles &#8211; All earth kingdoms proclaim the title of &#8220;Nation;&#8221; but\u00a0does the historic\u00a0<em>blood\u00a0signature<\/em>\u00a0bare this out? Or, following a long trail of earth&#8217;s\u00a0<em>blood signature<\/em>\u00a0we can conclude&#8230; earth is not the place as some claim it to be. This place called earth, bares a stolen title <em>in resemblance only<\/em> of another far away place also known as&#8230; &#8220;The Earth.&#8221; In this far away place, the geese co-exist with the herons.<\/p>\n<p>All earths are not equal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>In silence I hear deeper truth<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/wp_blog\/?page_id=2\" target=\"_self\">\u2014 ThirdSon and the River&#8217;s Sky<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nature Photography \u2013 by Ike Austin<\/p>\n<p><em>Nature Photography that is Therapy for the Soul<\/em><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">ThirdSon and the River\u2019s Sky<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"17%\">\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/image-files\/thirdson-rivers-sky-thumb.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"images of birds\" alt=\"images of birds\" src=\"https:\/\/nature-photography.daystarbooks.com\/image-files\/thirdson-rivers-sky-thumb.jpg\" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>ThirdSon and the River\u2019s Sky<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"83%\">\n<ul>\n<li>As a kid, I spent an enormous amount of time down by the river.
