… lest I forget. These are some of the wonderful variety of the forms of life to be found at the places I go in the Redlands. The first is a young Nomad Bee, I believe,  foraging.

Some kind of stick insect.

A queen Ant looking to start a colony perhaps? Only one wing left so her options are determined.

A stilt fly on the orange peel out in the back yard.

Clown Spider? From Eprapah, under a leaf next to the red beetles.

Definitely a bug.

Lynx Spider, in repose.

Rainforest Flower Weevil

I doubt that’s its actual name, though it is a weevil. It was more turquoise to my eye on the day than it appears here. Maybe the flash had an effect, or the sun.

A simple Prayer

This little black bee is a first for me. It was 5.00 am and I was in the garden with the camera pointed at some flowers and along came this little beauty with a yellow patch. Then another one came and went. Only at the earliest morning.

I am reading this.

I am the intelligence in the body reading this.

I cannot name this intelligence any more than that. And I don’t need to.

I am nothing to know and I don’t need to know it.

I don’t need to work this out.

I have no problem now because I am not making one now.

I am grateful for that. Now.

Now.

Now.

And any time I see I am anything else I can see I am the pure sensation in this body and that brings me back to now.

Now.

Now.
