Same! Great how that works. And I figure these things must be at least somewhat common of the human experience, that's what makes the sharing so important.

Yes!! Yes, sharing is important and I need to remember that.

That's what I tell myself when it feels vulnerable to share anyway, helps a bit. Gets me to press publish!

Very nice, Karen. Yes, let's not just look at nature, but notice nature.

Yes, thank you. We are, of course, a part of nature too.

The power of observation, both subjective and objective, is one of humanity's greatest gifts which we seem to take so much for granted. Coupled with Beginner's Mind -- "Thou shalt not assume" -- it opens the way for a world view that is compassionate and grounded in reality. It tends to make us both humble and grateful. How wonderful you were blessed with this rare, generous sighting! Thank you as always for sharing these miracles that most of us so often miss!

Thank you Lauren. Yes! "The Fool". Beginners Mind. Seeing without assuming. It's so much easier in nature than I suppose it is with other things. As I'm watching the world, I see how much people want certainty - they want certainty so much they'd rather not look. I certainly see it in myself sometimes too.
