Amazing things happen when you sit quietly in the woods. All sorts of shy creatures, the type that one rarely sees, emerge and go about their daily business. Generally speaking people, including myself, are too busy getting where they are going to stop and sit long enough to see the forest come alive. We're busy getting to the overlook, the waterfall, the campsite or car. But if you pause and settle yourself somewhere unobtrusive the bashful being that make up the majority of living things around us will gradually poke their heads out. Most of the time I'm trying to get 8 things done at once and have little time to engage in such behavior. But, lately, because of the nature of some of my work, I've had the chance to stop and sit awhile. And it's been lovely. Seeing things most people never see, except on television, goes along way to improving ones outlook on life. I highly recommend it.
