Sometimes I get stuck -mired in my own muddy thoughts.
It's usually when I'm not looking in the right direction.
When I forget to see life in unexpected places.
and lose sight of the abundance right in front of me.
It helps to put on the wide angle lens and take in their perspective (like when I watched Jesse the other day at our former beaver pond, patiently hunting for tadpoles with his spear).
Listening is good (here, Jesse is describing the interaction of his spear and the tadpole's skull).
Or, I watch the way others interact.In silence,
or not.
I like imagining through his eyes,
and the reminder to just keep moving.

I get stuck there too. Every so often. It's not a bad place to be, just hard leaving there.
Yep. I didn't even know I was still stuck until that day at the farm got me unstuck.
Nice post. A sweet and visual visual poem. Gillen's driving alone! Wow.
My kids have rescued me from many a funk...when I was ready to be rescued. Great photos and post.
