This image of an Owl making a face plant in the snow was pointed out to me during a snow shoe hike at the Wild Centre in Tupper Lake, NY this weekend.
Brad, the nature interrupter, pointed to a bunch of marks in the snow and said "look at this, it's amazing". At first I just saw mark that look like someone dropped a mitt. But when Brad started to describe the Owl the entire image and story started to appear to me.
Sometimes our search for work happiness does not seem clear to us. Often it takes someone else to point out the possibilities. That's the nice thing about sharing your dreams, it gets those with a different perspective a chance to help you.
I like what Brad said about this blog, he provides some widsom:
"So many people get stuck in a rut especially those who prescribe to the go to school, get married and then let fifty years roll by doing not much. The nuclear family ideal (which I believe never existed in reality) has really stuck in people’s head. I have moved as many as five times in five years and I have no regrets. I’ve met so many neat people and seen so many great things. I wish you all the best and good luck!"
Yours,

I hope Brad didn't mind me posting this?
I'm sure Brad won't mind -- although he may take exception to being called a nature "interrupter". Or maybe not, when you think about it, since he does "interrupt" nature a lot with nature neophytes like us on those wonderful snowshoe hikes.

I have a "special" way with words. I seem to make the most interesting typos. Sometimes when typing resumes I'll type something like "Flexible for late night shifts".....forgetting to put the "f" in shifts.
ReplyDeleteIt's a curse...or, maybe entertainment! I need to hire you to proof read my resumes once I start Sailancing.
