According to Buddha
One has to develop a panoramic awareness, an all-pervading awareness, knowing the situation at that very moment. It is a question of knowing the situation and opening one’s eyes to that very moment of nowness, and this is not particularly a mystical experience or anything mysterious at all, but just direct, open and clear perception of what is now without being influenced by the past or any expectation of the future, but just seeing the very moment of now, then at that moment there is no barrier at all.

‘a murder of crows’ ~ some nights along the North Saskatchewan River ~ Etown – Amiskwaciwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ ~ January 2022
You have large Crows Hedy!
Yes they do seem hardy probably because they are in the north🌬❄️🥶💪mostly it was the experience of so many of them meeting up at the end of the day all the talking and connection among them was so fascinating for me…I’m certainly no wildlife photographer but it was a wild experience over several evenings Wayne 🤓🐦🐦🐦sending joy from fresh etown ~ hugs hedy
this might shed a bit more light on your fine feathered friends Hedy

Yes this a great site too Wayne🤓🙏🐦🐦🐦all things to learn along the way…appreciated.
Very happy to shed some light Hedy.
I talk to my Crow friends each day as well as my two Raven friends Robbie and Rita.
I always love how you’ve named them and the other critters you know…your posts and blog always make me smile Wayne I appreciate your connection to nature…I was thinking of Romeo and Juliet…I’m going to see some eagles soon too I hope🦅🦅🤓I’ll look for ravens too🐦
When you meet them, hold your palm out to them,close your eyes and tell them I said hello please.
I did Wayne🙏🤍🕊
thank you Hedy!
great idea!

I’m teaching my Crow minions to bring me wallets!…..FAT ones!

☺️🙏thanks kindly Miss Parker🌬❄️❄️💙so wonderful I appreciate your comments ~ hugs hedy 🤗
Each photo is marvelous by itself,
but as a group they are outstanding!
What we seek and what we find
may always correspond. However,
if it brings joy and a smile,
we have been enriched. hugs and a smile, Eddie

The blues are incredible–it’s hard to pick but I think I like the first, second, and fourth shades best. But they’re all beautiful 💙

It is. Short. TBH I am actually beginning to wonder how long will I be able to travel? (That being so important to me. And many). In a physical sense. I seem to be “hurting” in more places as time goes by… LOL. Take good care of yourself Hedy. 🙏🏻💕🌹
