A morning smile crept across my face as my 12 pound, bossy
little lady gave her doggy version of a little girl putting her hand on her
hips, tossing her head to one side as her pig-tails set high upon either side
of her head follow and said, “Come on mom. I want to go outside. This is
soooooo boring!” I was being selfish and was already busy at work before taking
her for her morning walk. I sometimes forget that I enjoy these walks equally
as much as she does.
This morning’s walk was filled with the oscillating cadences
of nature’s song. It’s hard to place all of the sounds. This morning I was
curious as to what controlled the different rate at which crickets and other
insects chirp and learned there is a correlative effect to temperature and this
relationship is known as Dolbear’s Law.
Anyhow, during this perfect, peaceful morning walk down
a tree-lined verdant street; I noticed an electric blue, round plastic top,
which measured about 3 inches in diameter. The lid had slits in it, which were
in the form of pinwheels. I may have past it once or twice before. Actually, I
am pretty sure I have, but I tend to daydream on my walks, so I have never
given it much thought. However, yesterday, I saw this very same top on my
godson’s snack holder. It is a brilliant invention!!! It is designed so that
the little tyke can get his hand into the snack holder and the snacks don’t
easily fall out!
The point to this morning’s rambling is that we often see
things in life, pass by them, listen to them (songs), read them etc. But after
we experience them, they take on meaning and we recognize them for what they
are.
I had no idea when I began writing this that I would get to
share one of my all-time favorite quotes!! Yay :)
“Tell me, I’ll forget.
Show me, I’ll
remember.
Involve me. I’ll
understand.”
Chinese Proverb
