Another Hiker

Adjustments.jpeg

We saw another hiker not long after we saw the deer I shared yesterday. This one was also very patient with us, allowing us to capture a few photographs.

The thing about photos like this one, and the deer photo yesterday is that both photos captures the spirit of curiosity. This squirrel, and the deer both checked us out; we checked them out .. then we went our separate ways. We were happy, and I think they were too.

I love nature and love to interact with her. It is inspiring and provides experiences that last.

The inquisitive mind

FullSizeRender.jpg

This grey catbirds looks so curious. She reminds of the curiosity of a young child. When we are young, we are so open to new ideas, and change. As we get older, we tend to be less willing to change .. to has the ask questions that make us uncomfortable. Curiosity expands the mind!

I listened to the Akimbo podcast by Seth Godin. In a recent eposide, Seth takes about education. He specifically discussed issues with our education system in the US. I’m not going to dive into details, but recommend you listen to this when you have time. Here is the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/akimbo-a-podcast-from-seth-godin/id1345042626?mt=2

What about you and me? I believe that individuals can cultivate a curious mind. This is not just for the young! Even someone in their ‘gold years’ can do things to help develop curiousity. Try do eat different foods, read broad opinions, listen to all kinds of people and ideas. This does not mean you will agree with everyone your read or hear, but it will broaden your base.

Have a great day!

The curiosity of a child

FullSizeRender.jpg

I captured this photo earlier this summer. This is a father and son, alone in a canoe. Sadly, we don’t have time for parents to be alone with their children .. after all, we are so busy playing the role of ‘the adult’.

I remember some of the funny questions my children posed. Now that we have grandchildren, we are getting a second chance. It is so amazing. They see the world so differently. For starters, they are so curious. The are not afraid to ask questions about anything, and everything. We can learn a great deal by observing children.  

Today I salute the curious people. Those that are not afraid to ask questions and poke at the rules and experiences in life. Those that ask ‘why’ and ‘why not’, not to openly rebel, but to create something better. Be curious and make curiosity a lifetime endeavor. It will keep you young too. 

“I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it's important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it's great fun growing old.” ~ Johnny Depp
