Together...

A flock of seagulls isn’t just some 1980s new wave band whose music seems to cross generational divides. It’s also a lesson from the animal kingdom to the human one.

See, these particular gulls, seen on a warm summer’s afternoon on an otherwise abandoned edge of a lakeside beach, are all focusing their attention in the same direction.

No one’s buried in a smartphone, arguing over a parking space, or flexing over who has the nicest ink. Instead, they’re collectively turned into the wind, working together to figure out where their next big worry is coming from, ready for whatever may or may not happen next.

They aren’t distracted. They’re dialed in. Together.

I hear the sounds of the human masses in the distance and wonder why no one else is looking this way. They might learn something.
