I can probably come up with a few dozen-thousand reasons why I’ve CHOSEN to take a respite, but I’ll just use one:
While ponderer life on a hike through a southern Indiana marshy land Saturday, I came across this.
That’s it! I’ve been as busy as a beaver!
I really wish that I had a chain saw with me so that I could have cut a section of this and dragged it home with the aspiration of someday repurposing it.
However, I know in my heart that the “something” would probably just be a nuisance to my children who will have to dispose of my belongings after I’m dead and gone.
So, I did the responsible thing and followed the motto of the Baltimore Grotto (some sort of caving society according to the inter web):
"Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time." [except mosquitoes and ticks!]
Spring--nearly here-- is a time of plans and projects. Spring is also a time to pay attention to the woods.
“I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.” — Anne Lamott
Just someone to chew on this week.
