I just came back from a walk at “my park”, and it’s such a gorgeous morning. Sun’s out, and everything feels shiny. I did not encounter a single robot on my walk! Imagine when we start seeing that. Or, perhaps we should be actively imagining that it never happens.
One of my favorite nature walks ever was a small group excursion around North Seymour Island, Galapagos Islands. It was mating season on North Seymour, and love was definitely in the air. This female frigate bird and her baby seemed to be smiling at me and the rest of the visitors. The bird with the inflated chest is a male frigate hoping to attract a female. His chest looks like a big heart, does it not? Very eye catching, but sneaky, as love likely won’t have much to do with it. 🙂
Speaking of love, for my story about an encounter with a blue-footed booby and her misplaced egg on that excursion, click here: A Little Love Story
Hope you have a great weekend, however you are spending it. 🙂 Try to reserve some time to spend in nature, even if it’s just a walk around the neighborhood park.

Travel is certainly one way we can remove ourselves from our regular circle and the group mindset. Every group has one. This has been easy for me to see when traveling to different countries, and the differences in mindset between cultures and communities can be quite startling.
Do you objectively stand outside of your particular community and observe how often everyone adopts the same thought patterns? Why do we human beings have a propensity to do this?
There may be many answers to this, but a couple that come to mind immediately are “to feel safe” and “to feel validated”. How to break out of these needs? It’s an important question, because this need to feel part of the whole at any cost can lead us down the path of sometimes making choices that go against our own inner wisdom.

Hart Haiku Vol. 1 is a new ebook to celebrate my 4th anniversary of blogging. The haikus are displayed on colorful photo art cards. I chose 100 from over 150 blog posts between 2019 and 2020 to create the collection, and arranged them to tell a story. Or,… maybe more than one story. But as in life, the stories of nature, humanity, and you are all intertwined. Ultimately, it’s all One.
