Today I saw two river otters at Muir Woods. I had no idea they were there, but they very clearly were, and even posed for photographs. Now, I've seen otters at Muir Woods on Youtube. What a world!!
Zach was a horse for much of today, and he was also a bee. He sat in the flowers among the bees and dipped into the flowers like a bee, and was clearly accepted as there was no question of him getting stung. It was something to see such comradeship with bees. He runs now, using vast amounts of space and can also stand and watch a dog chase a ball into the water and bring it out over and over again.
A Glimpse of the Eternal

Just now,
a sparrow lighted
on a pine bough
right outside
my bedroom window
and a puff
of yellow pollen
flew away.
