Fluff On The Internet.
A whole lot of nothing

On Nature

24 April 2006 - 22:49 .

I've spent a lot of time these past months looking inside... deep inside. And I'm returning to the inner peace I once had. I'm noticing a lot more of the little things again - the small pieces of nature that so many take for granted, or just don't notice. I was riding my motorbike along Pacific the other day, and I was momentarily caught by the waves on English Bay. As I went to visit my grandparents yesterday, I saw a hawk playing on the wind currents over the farmer fields... not hunting or anything, just playing. I could see the way it would seemingly dance on the gusts, falling, turning, climbing. It was breathtaking.

This one caught my eye today... this tree is so heavy with blossoms that the limbs are sagging. I couldn't get a picture that I thought would do justice to the beauty of it, so I offer this one instead. I felt that the sheer desnity of the blossoms was magnificent, and I can't even begin to describe how they smell.

I really enjoy that I'm noticing these little things again. The small facets of the natural world that are often missed have always been a wonder to me, and they are again. I invite you to stop for a minute sometime this week to notice a flower, watch a bird, or find a picture in a cloud. Go ahead. Try it. You'll be glad you did.
