Fern Silhouette

Backblip for Wednesday 9th March 2016


"When we walk slowly, the world can fully appear. Not only are the creatures not frightened away by our haste or aggression, but the fine detail of fern and flower, or devastation and disruption, becomes visible. Many of us hurry along because we do not want to see what is really going on in and around us. We are afraid to let our senses touch the body of suffering or the body of beauty"


Joan Halifax


I thought this was a beautiful quote, and quite relevant to blippers and how we learn to slow down and notice the world around us.
