On Christmas night, two blue-green blowflies began to circle my bedroom around midnight; I assume they were attracted by the heat and light. LED spotlights are a wonderful discovery for the Winged People - an incredibly powerful but non-burning light.
The fattest one began to preen herself, and I, distracted from reading, looked at her body covered in hair while she cleaned herself and the specks of dust fell to the ground. But she had a huge hair hooked on her wings. Obviously it was impossible she let me get close; but I reached out, pinned her hair, and pulled it back without her freaking out in the least. Then she continued scrubbing herself for a while, and went - I suppose to eat something.
There will be those who seek miracles in imposing or more tearful things; I stay with this manifestation of peace and friendship between species. Happy Holidays!
