Back to Kairos

The force of the ordinary . . . can be obscured, reduced, or eliminated . . . by a lack of appreciation of the richness of its connections to the larger world it composes.—Thomas Dumm

What a wonderful quote to consider when sitting with trees! Though I read it after sitting with Kairos. Strange, as the tree said:

It is unfashionable to acknowledge how ordinary you are.

Celebrate the common and the everyday. All this - flowing in life and experience - is still unique, non-fungible, irreplaceable.

Nothing will happen again or again be exactly as this is.

There is no slice that you can extract from the flow that will be repeated or ever the same.

On the way, I caught a different angle of the Goddess Oak. Or rather, I had a new insight as the morning sun was upon her.

The whole light/shade thing can be very dramatic.

As for animal life, birds and bees, butterflies and, as ever, the muntjacs.

Though on the way, while I was looking at a tree, I spooked a hare who shot up from three feet away from my trainers! The squirrel was more considered.

The butterflies tend to flutter by too fast.

Spiders leave only evidence of their presence.
