What is the one next to it?
It worked! There were about 15 people, a great group of nice folk. I knew two of them from the Read-to-a-Dog program at the library (which means Demi knew them too!). That always warms my soul to meet up with someone out of context and realize we have yet one more thing in common.
Steve, Demi, Brix and I tromped around for a couple hours - lots of stopping and pointing all along the way - and I took notes as fast as I could. The guide was knowledgeable and pointed out all sorts of plants and birds I had seen countless times, but now I know their names. Everything seems so much more doable once you can give it a name, there's so much power in naming!
There is! Sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes it's not so good as when we label people and don't let them leave that label behind ever! The tree will always be okay labeled as to what kind it is. We all need to have a basis for knowing though so we can't get rid of all labels. Glad you had fun! Did your phone ever ring? (about the new art therapy class?)
ReplyDeleteHi Timaree -- Yes, the phone is starting to ring and I'm certain the group will be a go! Thank you for asking.
