So this could be the answer.<BR/>Minutes ago, my husband went out to feed the fish and they actually came up for the food, almost like old times. However, now I'm thinking that maybe we should not be encouraging this. <BR/>Thank you for commenting.Compassionate Consumptionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01756040839215240827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88637077702139288.post-57427447563406641082008-08-02T21:14:00.000-04:002008-08-02T21:14:00.000-04:00I believe your fish have gone back to the wisdom o...I believe your fish have gone back to the wisdom of the natural world. When you go to a lake, you don't usually see fish at the surface. They know there are herons, or seagulls, or eagles looking for food.<BR/><BR/>Likely, before the heron the goldfish had become complacent - nothing preying after them; food dropping from heaven when these large bi-pedals come nearby. Life was good.<BR/><BR/>When we try to "change" nature, (factory farming or goldfish or heron lives) then we are interfering with a natural process. When they are ready, they will come around; not to please the bi-pedals, but for themselves.<BR/><BR/>I just had a thought ... maybe the pea-sized brain of the fish interpreted the legs of the heron, as a very skinny bi-pedal, so they don't trust people, either.<BR/><BR/>Just thoughts, not necessarily gifted ones.Fresh from the Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151479441115467288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88637077702139288.post-39120047141008605122008-08-02T18:00:00.000-04:002008-08-02T18:00:00.000-04:00Hi Michele -Sorry, I don't have any insights about...Hi Michele -<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I don't have any insights about fish mentality.<BR/><BR/>However, I enjoyed your conclusion and your blog.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Naltonnltnjnnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122442254582438700noreply@blogger.com
