PAY ATTENTION!

 

PAY ATTENTION!  One primary lesson I have learned from my naturalist certification studies and from reading nature poets is the importance of paying attention.  These past few years I have paid closer attention to life and the world than ever before.  And speaking of nature, the White-tailed Deer can teach us a thing or two about paying attention.  A deer in our backwoods takes notice if I as much crack open a window or shuffle a piece of paper.  We'll never know what we may have missed in life because we were not paying attention.
