Last night, I came home at 1 AM after picking up someone at
the airport. It’s a rural property, and
as my headlights swept down the long driveway, at the far edge of the property
8 glowing eyes twinkled back at me. The
tapeti lucidi of a group of deer! Two of
them swiveled their heads and half-stood, but the others were unworried. Although they’d never seen me come or go at
that ungodly hour before, they knew that I was not a danger. As I pulled up and parked as far from them as
possible, and then exited as quietly as possible, the two “nervy” ones settled
down into their sleep positions again. The doe, young fawn and two teen males,
who might have been the mum’s fawns from last year, made my heart sing. The peaceful energy as they settled back to
sleep made me smile, but it was more than just a charming scene. For just over two years, I’ve been watching
the local deer who live in proximity to my healing & retreat center. Generations have grown up under my fascinated
attention. Yet there was more to
experience, a whole world of movement and activity, safety and comfort as well
as ambush and death, going on mere feet from my door, that I knew absolutely
nothing about, because it was happening during the hours when I wasn’t watching.
It makes sense, of course.
Homo sapiens is a diurnal species, as are deer. We all sleep at night. No matter how mindful I may be of my
surroundings, there will always be lives being lived, sometimes mere feet away
from me, that I know nothing about.
Still, this experience has sparked a new respect for the wonder and
excitement to be found in life. It’s so
easy for us to think that we understand “what’s going on,” that reality is a
known quantity. If we discover that we
don’t even really know what is happening in our physical environment, how
certain should we be – about anything? No matter how well we may think we are “on top
of” our lives, we will continue to turn a corner, head down a driveway and walk
straight into delight, and wonder, and beautiful, sweet new worlds.
