When I think about this, about how the earth, the moon, the sun all interact, it makes me feel very small. I sort of know how it all works, but I couldn't really explain it. And I am happy with this situation. I don't need to understand it, I can just accept it and lead my life around it.
But there is a bigger question. One which I cannot answer.
How can a chicken, with a brain allegedly the size of a pinhead, know that the sun has gone down one minute later than yesterday?
For as soon as this happened, our chickens started laying again. From a paltry one egg a day, if we were lucky, suddenly we had 3 a day for the last two days and then, today, five eggs.
For the first time in a long while the egg-skelta is full and I am eating gorgeously yellow omelettes for breakfast.
