I walked at 5 AM today. Early morning walks are super cool,
once you get your butt out the door.
When it’s dark, it’s more about the aural than the visual,
which is good for your brain to play around with every once in awhile.
On my walk, I heard:
-1 pheasant squawking
-19 different birds
chirping
-2 hummingbirds whirring
-at least 30 busy bees
humming in the lavender
and 1 deer crashing through
the brush
I also saved 2 worms. I do
that. Almost every day on those early walks. The way I see it, evolution takes
thousands and millions of years. Our asphalt and concrete have only been around
for 150 or so. These worms and snakes and bugs and critters haven’t had time to
figure it out, evolutionarily speaking.
So, I try and figure out
which direction that worm is headed, and I give them a boost. It’s what I do.
I hope I’m helping.
Yesterday I picked up 3 bumblebees, drunk and laden with pollen, off the
parking lot asphalt at work and placed them gently in a rhododendron. I carry
spiders in my bare hands to safe havens outside.
I hope these tiny acts of
kindness have deposited enough Karma into my Cosmic Bank Account so that I
don’t go into overdraft for all the slugs I’ve lured into beer-filled shallow
pie tins over the years and the ants I’ve been ruthlessly squashing on my
kitchen walls this week.
It should balance out, if
my accounting is correct.
Have a lovely walk today,
Dani
