Each time of day, each time of year, in Big Sur, has its own type of energy.
Just before dawn, the temperature drops. As the sun rises in the morning, the clouds are painted with color, which slowly shifts to the blue or gray of the daylight. Animals wake up or go to sleep, according to their habits. Each has a pattern for its life, involving a routine that has worked for its kind throughout the years.
Territory, food, and "making the rounds" are the basics for the wild way of life. Not so different from our own lives, in a way.
This deer is waking from its nightly bed, and will soon move on, leaving only a soft impression in the grass.
You could be only steps away from the wildlife of the area, and not know it, as you are watched by the creatures who stay hidden, with all the time in the world to observe their surroundings. For them, there is never a hurry..unless fleeing a predator. Most of the lives of the wild animals are lived in silence, except for the calls relating to the rhythms of life: mating, territory, danger.
As the seasons progress, the play of light and shadow takes on new forms, the seasons grow, ripen, and change. There is message in each moment, a deep connectedness that is always ready for you to discover it.
As you make your rounds, make an effort to feel the guiding hand of natural forces that move through your life. Look up once in a while from your usual patterns and see the bigger picture. Your day will be more enjoyable, and you can see a chance to get more in tune with your own feelings, your own life.
