In every walk with nature, 
one receives far more than one seeks. 
- John Muir

Suggested Invitation for Day 17

Same But Different

On the way to your Sit Spot today, or when you get there, you are invited to pick up another natural object that draws your attention (again try not to disturb or pick anything living if you can). If you chose an acorn, pinecone, or pebble, in what ways is it the same or different from other similar acorns, pinecones, or pebbles? Is it bigger or smaller? A different colour? More intact or broken? What is unique and special about this object? So long as there is no apparent reason not to, if you wish to take the natural object home with you and add it to your nature museum of beautiful things, feel free to do so.
