Listening to Nature: Day 2

Ones happiness depends less on what he knows than on what he feels.

- LIBERTY HYDE BAILEY


 
I knew an old farmer who often spoke fondly of the birds around his ranch. He didnt know their proper names, and sometimes he told us facts that were incorrect. Im sure that any experienced birdwatcher would have discounted much of the farmers wisdom.

But, how he enjoyed birds! I remember watching his wrinkled face while his eyes filled with delight, as he gazed up at flocks of swans and geese passing overhead. He became so totally absorbed in their shifting formations and clamoring cries that it took him a few moments to come back to himself.

Because of his joy and absorption in the birds, Ive always felt he knew the right approach and had gained more from his bird study than had many a more scientific observer.

Go for a walk in the wild. Avoid categorizing the things you see; instead, focus on feeling a kinship with everything you see. Look at everything as though you are seeing it for the first time, with the eyes of a child, fresh with wonder.
