The simplicity of my day to day. |
PROMPT July 10th Go somewhere outside or where you can observe the happenings of the world beyond the walls of your home (looking out a window is fine). Spend at least five minutes watching and listening. What do you see, hear, and smell? Where does your mind wander when you sit quietly? This is a lovely prompt, so easy to answer too. I do this every morning before breakfast. I go out into the Australian bush to clear my mind and walk my dog. I’ll tell you what I saw this morning. First the sun is just rising through the trees behind me and it makes the forest of eucalypts appear as if they are about to burst into flame. It takes my breath away and I feel as if I’m the only person alive who is watching these first few moments of this day. Moving on I see a pair of red breasted tiny birds quarrelling, maybe she’s not satisfied with the nesting material he brought? The dog and I stop in our tracks as we hear the distinctive thump of a kangaroo nearby. I find a rechargeable head torch today on the track. Someone on a mountain bike has lost it. I take it home and my husband finds a charger that fits it. He’s very happy. Oh well one man’s loss is another ones gain. |
