What Lies At Your Feet

A few years ago...walking on a beach...in Vancouver...I happened to turn over a piece
of bark on the shore...and saw on its inside...what looked like heiroglyphics...etched
there...as if someone was trying to send me...or humankind...a message. I later
found many pieces of bark on the shore...marked this way. The explanation of who etched
these interesting markings on bark...is likely...that it was the "lowly termite"...
carving away at material that was to hand...tidyly injesting...the carved out bits...
combining artistry...with sustenance. But why such intriguing patterns?...who knows...
but I...for one...am glad...if they are indeed the ones responsible...that termites
do this work that pleasures my eyes. Anyway...these carvings...on bark...were another
reminder...that there is beauty everywhere in Creation...you just have to open your
eyes long enough to receive...even what is lying at your feet..........Quester.
