Found in the Forest

We took a walk yesterday— my dear friend invited Kidlet and I to join her and her pup. As they walked ahead, I was stuck by this gorgeous moss covered rock. I pulled out my phone to snap a picture.

Mossy goodness: A Gnome’s Paradise

But the photo showed me more.

Oh. Hi.

This gorgeous beam of light shone into the rock, imperceptible to my weak ass eyeballs. But the camera caught it.

I looked again, and couldn’t see. I moved my phone, the light lingered.

Light I could not see

It felt so profound. This beauty, this light, that I could not see on my own. Sometimes it takes another perspective, or time, or reframing to see what is there. Somethings we CANNOT SEE on our own.

Perspective assistance is required.

The cheeky part is, I never would have seen the light (ha! Oh that’s too rich), if I hadn’t stopped to wonder at the rock.

All this to say— nature is extraordinary. Our planet is incredible. Our lives are miraculous.

I wish you the warmth of sunshine, the comfort of shade, and the gift of wonder.

Grateful for a friend who’ll take us both into the woods.

You are loved, by me and others. Let’s go eat something. (I’m making cinnamon oatmeal).
