 | | | Marveling at the mundane ...
Everywhere I look, I see things with new eyes. Or, maybe I'm just seeing new things with these old eyes.
This morning, driving along Highway 50, I come upon four cowboys, slung low in the saddle, high on the horse, herding cattle down the road. It felt as if my Subaru had slipped through a time portal and into the West of yore. No, my friend tells me, this is normal for the area.
The other day, I spotted a magical beast with ammonite-like horns. Straight from Narnia, I presume! Nah, it's a bighorn sheep, they're around.
And down at the Montrose Water Sports Park last weekend, I sat and gawked at a group of folk river surfing — surfing on a river! Surfing, I'm well familiar with, but the concept of paddling out into a rifling river to catch a wave? This is new to me and it's kinda blowing my mind.
My friend laughs at these observations. She tells me I'm seeing things through a child-like lens, fascinated with the wonder of everything new. Go with it, she says, revel in it.
Alright, I'll do it. Why not? It's fun. I love having my mind blown. And it seems that these days, exploring this new-to-me region, my mind gets blown pretty easy and by pretty much every new thing — like how towns have letters adorning a hillside! That 'M' that Montrose has watching over the Uncompahgre, it's, like, so big!
Have a Good One,
