That's the spirit !
Allow me to butcher a quote that goes something like
"when curiosity is discouraged the enthusiasm for learning dies"
I sit down with my son, a pail, and a shovel.
My intentions are result oriented;
I think we are going to make sand castles.
How quickly I have forgotten that there are more important things.
Such as, can I use this shovel to fling sand over my shoulder?
What sound does this bucket make, if I beat it against my tricycle?
What does it feel like, when I grind this sand in between my teeth?
It is the journey.
I like changing stuff up, when you take the path less traveled, you witness the sights typically un-seen.
I once read an account of a bow hunter that like to pretend he was a Porcupine.
He would get down low and inch his way along the ground; reasoning that Porcupine see everything, and no one sees them. That Hunter figured if you had traveled more than a hundred yards in less than an hour, you are moving too fast.
Everyone has a different approach, and many of them work.
Myself, have sat from dawn till dusk in the same hide. Other days, I would spend the entire day walking.
There are times when I have veg'd a
@horribleherk worthy, 10 sq ft Beast.
At this moment, my plants are plugged in barely a fist-width apart.
Been farting around like this, for years. Can't say what works best. I am just a witness to the events that unfold. I am in a position to observe stuff that I like, and stuff I like less.
Do what feels good, Tex, and thanks for sharing your journey.
