"The signs of spring can be missed if I move too quickly," such a profound message. I hadn't considered moss to be springy and spoungey as it bounces up after a long winter's nap. It's like a Tigger in Winnie the Pooh. Moss took on a different dimension, flat when compressed to the Earth, but then added volume with a spring in its step.
You enhance my walks through the forest with you. I've walked through the forest many times when I lived near it, but now, in my walks with you, I see things I hadn't seen before. Thank you for this wide-open, quiet dimensional space you provide, Whitney.
I love noticing all these little details about how things look and feel different depending on the season, the weather, all of it - it's wonderful to be able to share it. Thank you, Tami.
When I was a college student, oh so many decades ago, I spent an inordinate amount of time engaged in “belly botany”. 50 years later, I’m still fascinated with the micro world around me, the belly botany. Sometimes the tiniest little bloom or bug or leaf will catch my eye and bring so much joy. It’s no wonder I enjoy your substack so much!

"I must practice my patience." Yes.
I find it hard to be patient, sometimes.
But there is so much beauty that can be missed if we hurry along.
Thank you for sharing and reminding us all to slow down.
