Tiptoeing
Marcia takes care
not to step on the cracks when she walks down the sidewalk. The marmots are
abundant along the river side of MacArthur Island, in Kamloops.....and they're
not too shy! Walking quietly and carefully with one's heels raised and one's
weight on the balls of the feet, is the least one should
do.
Whispering
Marcia carefully
avoids discussing difficult or sensitive subjects. Elephants have good hearing,
detecting sounds as low as 14 to 16 hz (human low range: 20 hz) and as high as
12,000 hz (human high range: 20,000). Whispering a message through broken
telephone is the polite thing to do
Hiding
Marcia does not
turn on the lights in her apartment at night. Ants are social insects, so when
one ant enters your home, others follow. Marcia hears the footsteps of armies
marching. She buys plush carpet.
Blending
Marcia likes to
wear high-contrast and bright coloured clothing. The bat faced toad found among
the leaves of Amacayacu National Park in Colombia is masterful at blending into
its surroundings. Marcia has a playful side and is not trying to make life
difficult.
....
People take
different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on
your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.
