Sometimes nature has a way of illustrating the lesson you did not know you needed.
Dear friends, no matter how this deer's journey might resonate with you—whether on a continuum between inviting change or overcoming an idée fixe or choosing retreat—they're all going somewhere. Keep going.
How else do we find our way?
It looks like part of an infinity symbol. Or maybe the loop of life.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I hadn't thought of that.
DeleteThat's one confused deer!
ReplyDeleteOr did that deer experience a sudden realization?
DeleteThat image says it all!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too, in multiple ways.
DeleteThanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteWe can stand in one place and wait for the deer to visit...
ReplyDeleteHmm...also an interesting way to interpret this. Well done.

ReplyDeleteAs always, welcome insight.

ReplyDeleteHa! I may have a it's-a-sign problem.
DeleteMaybe he had vertigo like me. I hope he got to where he wanted to go.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteI guess that's the deer equivalent of doing donuts in the parking lot.
ReplyDeleteIs it even winter if you can't do at least one donut in the parking lot?
Delete...keep putting one foot in front of the other.
ReplyDeleteIt makes you wonder if the deer was there before or after the other footprints. Sometimes it’s best not to cross paths. :)
ReplyDeleteMarly
It reminds me that there's a difference between contentment (having what we need) and complacency (feeling smug about the status quo without concern for tomorrow). In the winter, that deer has to keep moving to look for things to eat!
