Life in the Food Chain

Today - inoticed the small fish ripping and shaking while grazing the algae, the larger and faster dominating the others. Seeming to be aggression - trying to keep others away, it was like a tic - like odd movement. I could detect their anxiety. I cleared lilly pads away, so algae could grow. I've seen crays cut it down like a big mower,so even tho i'm still moving them,their numbers are still too high for the resource. i need to decide about feeding the diminishing fish, Saw a cray reaching out for them and the slower polliwogs don't have much a chance. We see in our histories - stories of competitive gods and their representatives. So, that legacy and has been the nature and it's template of this planet, at least predominately, for our long recent history. I pulled one of the lilies above the surface and gazed into the center. The lotus above seemed to have evolved to open - open -  open - stretching - baring it's heart to the sky - before letting the pink petals slowly let go and eventually tumble to into the water.
