Let’s revel in our numbered days on a turning earth.

I’ve always been an observer. Even as a little girl I remember paying very close attention to my environment, whether it was the details on a blanket; how threads are woven together in cloth; how raindrops seem to simply roll on smooth surfaces; how insects inhabited the earth beneath dead, fallen grasses; how smoke curls, separates, then dissipates; how adults moved or behaved; how a dog dreams.

I grew up and one aspect of my personality never changed: I am an observer. That inclination is likely what moved me forward on the many trajectories I have embarked upon in my life. One thing that observations have done for me is to install a deep appreciation for life and all its forms. Let’s revel in our numbered days on a turning earth.

“The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.” — e.e. cummings

Until next Monday may your week be puddle-wonderful and revel in your numbered days on this earth.

Postscript:
my read shelf:
Diane Schuller's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

For any of you who may be interested in the recent books I’ve read and perhaps want to read my comments, I have added a Goodreads widget at the very bottom of the blog {where you’ll be able to read the first few lines of my comments.} If you have a Mac, simply use the “down arrow key” with the “Command” button to snap to the bottom of the screen. I’m sorry but I don’t know how to snap to the bottom if you use a PC, but scroll always works too 🙂

With all these efficiencies going on, for a change, I already have next weeks post written and lined up in the WP scheduler. I’m sure that won’t happen often 😉

  1. I can relate to your observer tendencies…which is likely why I do what I do. But I also wonder if that is why I’m detail-oriented. I like observing the details, the patterns — all the little things that make up the big thing. Love that quote…

  2. I think that being behind a camera helps to make observations. This was a lovely post Diane, thank you.

  3. What a lovely read. The wonderful thing about observers is they tend to surround themselves with beauty. 🙂

  4. What a great post, Diane, and one I can identify with.

    As a child, I too was an observer, but as I got older, I think I lost some of that (yes, it is a loss!). However, once I made the time to actively spend time with my camera once again, it came back! 🙂 For that I am truly grateful.

    Happy day to you, my friend. xo.
