from 7/13-16/2022:

finishing photo journaling marking/drawing I noticed Beaver crossing the creek pool from left right Beaver slapped it's tail, crack!, and dove... stillness followed and with less than a couple minutes Beaver resurfaced and slowly swam approaching me zigzagging from side of pond to the other to within 20', swam by and hung out for awhile while I sat silently, watching each other with awed respect... we looked into each others eyes, trusting with our personal space... after a while, like Beaver I went back to my morning work with thanks and connection...

“Look underfoot. You are always nearer to the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Don't despise your own place and hour. Every place is the center of the world.”

"Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion."

- John Burroughs
