Look at this picture. Can you find the moth on the tree trunk? okay, I'll give you a minute.....I have no idea how I saw it as I walked by this tree but I was amazed by the size and doubly amazed at how a moth that big could blend in to its background. Even as I got a ladder, climbed up to its level and aimed my camera just inches away he didn't make a move. Sometimes I find myself doing this. There is a big crowd of people...maybe even people I know, and I find myself just trying to be quiet and blend in to the background. Then I wonder, "Why wouldn't I want to be outgoing and talk to everyone?" I try to assess if I'm feeling down and somehow apart from people. I decide I'm not feeling that way at all. I just feel like being quiet and having a glass of punch by myself. I think sometimes we just like to observe which in itself is a very proactive activity. We can find a nice vantage point like this moth did and just watch and listen to the people around us. Listen to their exchanges, listen to their greetings to each other, listen to the kindness around us. It makes me smile to listen to other people laughing, telling each other about their weekends...who they saw; what they did.
There is amazing beauty in exchanges between human beings. Take notice of the people around you.
