Let Life Surprise You

This itsy white speck was perched on the bitsy end of a wisp of moss. It was no bigger than the head of a pin.  Wondering what it was, Brad photographed and filmed it.  When he re-played the (magnified) video, we were stunned to discover it was a wee critter.  Perhaps he was cocooning himself away for winter....who knows?!  The point is, it was a joy to witness - I LOVE little surprises like this!  How many times have I passed by unfolding miracles like this - my eyes open but hurried, short-sided and unaware?

In Pleasures, Denise Levertov wrote, "I like to find what's not found at once, but lies within something of another nature, in repose, distinct."

Delight waits in unexpected places if only we pause and look long with heart-deep eyes.
