Baby Moose Teaches us a Lesson

Hello~


....anybody out there....?


If you have visited lately, then you've noticed that I haven't posted in a while. The KNEWZ has been on suspension, as I've been caught up, and concerned with personal transitions and new transformations. I'm also looking at this mode of expression and questioning if it's serving a good purpose.

I created this blog as a place of sharing and discussion, and in my estimate it falls very short of my intentions when I look at the amount of sharing and discussion that readers have felt moved to contribute. I have felt that I'm basically just writing for/to myself. And if that's the case, why clutter up the world wide web?


Anyway....... Here's a short video, that really just caused me to pause, and sink deeply into the moment. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

I've often said, that my teachers today, come from Nature. You know that saying from a scripture in the Bible that goes, "....and a little child shall lead them"?

Well today's lesson is taught by a baby moose.

Please pay attention to the sequence of events unfolding in this video. A baby moose ventures into a neighborhood backyard and discovers a new place, that is filled with new ''toys" and delights.

It leaves but returns and brings it's loved ones. Now it's accompanied by, it's Mother and twin to join in and experience this new wonderland. They feel safe, and so they all relax, drink the good water, and soon play ensues. Our treat is that we are allowed to observe these intelligent animals be their true nature. Mother lovingly nuzzles, licks and stands close, and after a while is also drawn into enjoying the living 'spring' of water that her baby has found.

The sibling too, lets it's natural curiosity lead it into play and soon the two are having a wonderful time.


I share this with you, because it teaches us how we might engage Life and the new world that is unfolding before us. Imagine what would happen if like our animal teachers, we encountered new experiences with openness and without fear. Isn't it possible that like this baby moose, when confronted with the unknown, we could also discover the good that exists, and experience what I like to call 'unexpected delight'?

Let's all try to lighten up and resurrect that playful side of ourselves. There's nothing like observing or spending time in Nature, to refresh one's perspective and get us moving forward again, feeling wholesome and smiling with joy.

  1. There is plenty of room on the wide wide web for "... just writing for/to myself ..." so go for it. It shows that You Were There even if the windblown sands of time eventually cover it up unseen by others ... or maybe not ... "better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all," the old saying says. You have got lots of thoughtfulness to share, so do it, leave your imprint on the sands of time. Nevermind if the rest of us are totally busy in getting freed a bit from the snares of our own and others doings, to notice your wisdom tidbits. We might stumble on them later... but only if you leave them here to be found.
