Don't look down

Watching my foul neighbors bathing in the sound while listening to a small brown bird telling of its delight that it is able to do the same in the creek.

I have been thinking nature is an amazing thing.  Thought about the past and what my experiences in the wild places have taught me, most people spend way too much time looking down at their feet, sometimes they look up but rarely do they look up.  First I would like to say I know.where my feet are, they are below me. Second you get easily lost if you do not keep your perspective.  How many times have I seen someone more than capable walk in circles because they were focused on their feet, that is besides the few I have seen walk off the edge of a precipice because they did not see until it was too late.  thankfully the drop was small and the landing soft.  The fear on the other hand was not.

Lesson learned, make sure you look up.  This lesson is qlso a hard one learned in.nature, particularly by small minded critters who only too late find they have become the source for another's dinner plate.  Here is my take on this hard lesson, I do not mind sharing a meal but definitely do not want to be the meal, so with my eyes up and constantly moving I am able to assess the dangers and make decisions accordingly.

Now how to apply to everyday life, look up and stop spending so much time looking at your feet, see what is around you.  Oh yeah as a side note, stop trying to blame others when you reap the rewards of your own decisions.
