Sitting in the morning sun

I had no plan ..     no work to be done

so I resolved to take the time

and survey “my” reality

–

tree

the tree did not seem unusually remarkable to me

until closer inspection

revealed

any number of animals and insects that abided in it’s branches and bark

 it wasn’t evident at first

–

the grasses

 

as it is the last stages of winter where am currently located

it is muted in color

some green …. Mostly brown….. some a straw color

mixed in are leaves and other organic matter

a brush of my hand clears away enough covering to reveal ants and other insects scurrying to find cover again……a worm passes

Initial survey didn’t reveal these elements until further investigation was conducted

I had to get pass the camouflage before I could witness the life initially hidden

–

sunlight

the rays are warm and bright

arrousing  creatures to get out and do something

Or go shopping

quite piercing and penetrating with no obstacles in it’s path…  and somewhat muted as it is softened coming into contact with shadows from the stationary objects it meets

–

Crevice

A crevice looks merely like a breech in the soil until on my hands and knees I marvel at the any number of animals that call it home …    Worms….. beetles…… termites….,grubs……crickets

a virtual cosmopolitan community that would go unnoticed by most

–

so you see “ reality” is defined by our willingness to investigate what is before us

two people same place….. same circumstances

two different perspectives on reality
