Just listen London, ON October 2021 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
The fog was fighting a losing battle with the sunlight, holding on for dear life just above the rushing waters. Meanwhile the canopy overhead swayed gently in the cool breeze, its whispers barely masking the songs of the birds who hadn’t started their trek south.
In other words, just another day in the woods.
Or was it?
I’ve been back since, but the tone, the sounds, the light, weren’t quite what they were on this day.
And that’s kind of the way it’s supposed to be. Every day serves up its own palette, of sorts. And while at first glance it might look like just any other day, if we look just a little more closely we might notice the tiny traits that make this day unique.
We have to take the time, of course. And that’s why I keep returning here.
To find the tiny differences.
To feel the subtle shifts.
To look in the margins for signs that nothing is ever really the same even if we think it is.
I guess that’s the difference between merely living and feeling truly alive.
Yeah, let’s go with that.
