Several days ago, during one of those unseasonably nice days here in Albany County, New York, my wife Theresa and I went for a walk down the road where we live.

During our walk, Theresa noticed something lying on the ground, nearly out of sight over an embankment, and said, “I wonder what that is?”

We walked over to take a closer look and discovered a dead coyote that had apparently been hit by a car.

I took note of it.

But it also got me to thinking.

Not just about what we saw…
but about what it might mean.

If you’d like to know what that dead coyote got me thinking about, you can read more on The Nature of Things.
