Tonight I visited my sit spot around 6 pm. It was refreshing to come away from the busy motel, though I knew I couldn't stay away long. At first I just stood at my sit spot waiting for the electric energy of the day to fall off of me. I know that I didn't exactly enter the wood in the quietest fashion because after a few minutes of standing and staring in a daze through the forest, the Forest Doe started making her protesting snorts in my direction. She stared at me through the woods, snorted in displeasure and took off in the opposite direction through the wood.
I made my way to my "sit rock" and slowly eased myself up into sitting position and awaited nature's show to resume. I noticed the peace and quiet and gentle song of birds about the forest. The air was crisp and cool after a warm day. The air smelled of smoke from someone's bon fire or barb-b-que. I looked up to see if the bird's nest, of which I thought was a hummingbird's nest, had any remains. Indeed, there was but a few shreds of nest material left. The babies must have fledged weeks ago, as I have watched it slowly dissipate from the tree's Y. How quickly the seasons change! A bird scampered onto a branch close to the forest floor not far from in front of me. I observed it for a while wondering what bird it was. Suddenly, I heard the familiar sing songy laughter-like calls. Then I saw it's red breast and knew it was so. A robin. The town seems to have awakened from a sleepy slumber. I hear many town folk out and about and actively chatting with one another. It's an alive place, indeed. I'd prefer to live in a forest away from the awakening hubbub, but all I can do now is dream for my future home, which I hope to be surrounded by forest and nature's wonders. I hope that I can have my next sit spot be my very own backyard, immediately outside my front or back door. Sigh! Dream, I shall for that day!
