Reflections on Life and Observations
Now, I would like to share an anonymous saying that captures the essence of our ever-evolving environment: 'What else can you see from where you are right now?' Outwardly, the scenes described can take on different meanings, reflecting various emotions and experiences.
However, at this moment, I must answer questions on a screen because I'm working on addressing inquiries for myself and others. Cheers, Caroline.
Amidst the morning just before dawn, where everything is still hushed, I can only see the inside of my room with the lights on. However, through sound and imagery, my environment comes alive.
Within the walls of my wooden house in New Moscow, I'm surrounded by a symphony of sounds: my African Grey parrot's squawks, the quiet scrolling of my husband's computer, the comforting aroma of my coffee, and the clack of my fingers typing away on this very screen. Even in this tranquility, my mind travels outward to the scenery beyond the window.
Current View from My Window
Standing here, in the cool morning air just before sunrise, I see a Jacaranda tree adorned with stunning purple blooms. The vibrant flowers are a stark contrast to the greenery and serenity of New Moscow, adding a touch of exotic beauty to my surroundings. This tree, which belongs to my neighbor, stands as a testament to the delicate balance of nature that coexists within our modern urban fabric.
Such observations remind us of the beauty that surrounds us, no matter how busy or mundane our daily lives may seem. By taking a moment to look around, we can find joy and inspiration in the everyday.
