COINcidence

I have found a coin on my walnut tree. The coin shows a tree full of leaves and ripe fruits. It is beautiful. Right now the tree is grey and the miserable weather makes it look even worse whereas the tree on the coin looks full of life and promising. 
Coins do not mean anything to me. They are useless, because I cannot eat them. But can they still mean something? Is it a coincidence that I have found that special coin on my tree on that exact day? Or is there a greater meaning? Does it show me the future that is going to happen no matter what I do? Or does it show me one scenario that might happen if I make the right choices? Or does it show me something that I am never gonna achieve? Or does it simply mean nothing and is just a beautiful piece of silver that looks pretty in the sun? 
What are coincidences and how do they influence our life? Are we supposed to get motivation through coincidences? Do we have to act if this scenario appeals to us? How can such a coin influence our life? 

I truly cannot tell you now. Let us see what will happen. I am willing to give myself to the future. 

Don't mind the gap!

Life prepares for death. We cannot escape death. That is the truth. The only question is: What do we do before we die? How do we live? Sometimes this question pops into my head.
Especially during winter, there are many storms and the weather is unpredictable. When I jump from tree to tree I sometimes think about being not careful enough. I could fall down and die. Every day could be the day I die. And I cannot know when I am going to die. Most of my squirrel friends are very careful, they do not dare to risk anything because they are afraid of the consequences. But I figured that it makes no difference. If you are too afraid to jump, maybe an eagle will spot you on your tree minutes later and kill you. And even if that does not happen...will you live a happy life if you are afraid all the time to realise your dreams? 
I decided to a risk and make my dreams come true! Even if I happen to die the next day, it is probably worth it. 

Laugh at first sight?

"Let me not to the marriage of true minds 

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when in alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove."

--Shakespeare, Sonnet 116.--

It is still a harsh and cold winter. But many squirrels have already found a partner to stay with so that they can mate in spring and do what they are supposed to do. Last year I dated many different Lady Squirrels to fulfill the expecations of my squirrel friends. But they were so different from me. There is not one that I could bear be with for more than a few days. I missed my days alone, my peaceful time on the walnut tree. I am happier when they are all gone. But what does it make me? Am I to be pitied? Am I worth less than my friends because I am alone? 

This long and cold winter gives me time to think a lot and I start to think that I am meant to follow my own path. I know that this is the right thing to do. But sometimes there are moments and situations where I need some other squirrel nonetheless. I sometimes cannot cope on my own. The question is: should I avoid those moments or somehow find a solution to deal with those situations on my own? Am I capable of doing that? I should not ask myself these questions, I should be more confident. Because there is no one, and there probably will not be no one, to encourage me and help me with that. Because I am the only one who can enter my mind and begin to understand what is going on there.
