Watch how a cloud floats, how its parts may travel at different speeds.
See how a heavy bee with tiny wings flies.
Note how a moth hides in the open against the bark of a tree.
Note where a cat hides.
See how a caterpillar walks,
how a doe cares for her newborn.
Does a maple tree sound different in fall than in spring?
Does the leaf of an oak descend to the ground like the leaf of a gingko?
See how the mockingbird flares his wings, again and again, and startles his prey from their hiding places.
See how the wind moves each tree in a stand differently, and yet, together.
Smell a night that's all clouds, and one that's all stars.
