The Change Within the Change
On a trail you’ll never see the foliage along the way to be the same as before. Plants come up to replace old ones. New invasive ones will eventually be invaded.
It was only three weeks ago that I was walking this trail in prime farmland and it was not hard to see the transitory nature of what happens along both sides of me.
Humans seem to always respond to the plant dynamics. For instance, the blackberry bushes come in like an army. It’s vines hug (or choke) trees. They climb fences and start to crawl on the trail or rail. Someone will come along with a serious cutting instrument to fight back the invasion. It appears to be one siege after another on behalf of both sides.
It looks like some people give up the comfort and just let nature in the form of colder weather get the aggressors to tone down. Perhaps it’s like letting old age take to natural course, to subdue youthful passions.
Today also brought me to Stanley Park as it did so may other people. I was impressed with a man who, as an artist, balanced irregular shaped rocks upon other rocks turning the nook along the beach at English Bay into a gallery to view with awe. No double, a strong wind or a strong wave will change that and make it disappear. Hence, a rearrangement of the physical continues on.
This was my observations our humble chanting party breezed through the crowd along the attractive beach.
May the Source be with you!
