“One does not need universities and libraries. One need be alive to what is about.” Gary Synder
I like working in the yard because, invariably, I find treasures. Today, I was happily weeding—minding my own business, I might add—when this little green fellow began to tease me. He kept flitting in and out of where I was sitting as if to get my attention, “Hey lady! Photograph me; would you?” I didn’t have my camera with me, so I knew the opportunity would be lost; nevertheless, I ran into the house to fetch my camera. To my delight, the little guy was still frolicking about when I returned. He and I amused each other for the next several minutes. He actually seemed to be posing for me! I couldn’t help but smile and laugh. I am grateful to be alive to what is ‘round and about me.
