Postcard From Corncobville, #2



By White Feather

I went for my daily nature walk today just like most days and I went around the same time of day. It was very non-eventful. I had no animal encounter. I saw no exotic bird. I had no epiphanies as I walked through nature. I didn't reach a profound ecstatic state. Sure, it totally chilled me out and put me in touch with the divine and it prompted me to be grateful but, overall, it was pretty ordinary.

Later, when I got home, I realized that not once, since the day began, had I asked the universe for an animal encounter or a bird sighting or a paradigm-shattering epiphany. I didn't ask for anything extraordinary so therefore all I got was the ordinary.

Duh!
