This life lesson started out with a lost lens cap.
It fell out of my pocket in the woods.
Now it’s fall here.
So if I don’t find it soon, it will be covered with leaves.
There are no paths in my woods.
I meander around without much notice of my location.
These are my woods. I can’t get lost, but a lens cap can.
I felt obliged to go look for it. It would be easier to find a needle in a haystack.
I took my camera, as usual.
I was looking for a round, dark, man-made object.
Here are my pictures from the search.
Round, dark, man-made objects. Blah!
Today, I went into my woods looking for nothing.
I found everything!
Moss, mushrooms, fairy houses, lichens…
and (NO LIE) the lens cap.
Open mind… Open eyes…
See everything while looking for nothing.
Go with the FLOW.

Hurray! I found my reading glasses after two years and I wasn’t looking.

Congratulations! its like a day with my husband “where is the (fill in the blank)” I saw tires and a 55 gallon drum, I hope you made your husband haul these off, given you have probably found his wallet a hundred times by now.

Honestly, it was the fairy house. My sister and I used to look for them in the mountains . This one was the perfect size, up between two trees. It even looked as though it had a door. Zoom in on that picture to see for yourself. I love to think there is magic in my woods.
