Just now, on my way home from the library, I noticed a tiny baby lizard riding the city bus. He had found a sunny spot on the floor, right in the middle of all the standing passengers. I spotted him moving just as I was about to get off, and managed to quickly (but gently) catch the little dinosaur in my left palm.

After the driver reopened the doors for me, we stepped off, and I released him onto the nearest patch of grass. I could see his tiny heart pulsing so fast in his chest, such a brave little cutie! He happily went off into the bushes, and we said goodbye.

"Of all the great works that we can experience, nature is the most absolute and enduring. We can witness it change through the seasons. We can see it in the mountains, the oceans, the desert, and the forest. We can watch the changes of the moon each night, and the relationship between the moon and the stars."

"The closer we can get to the natural world, the sooner we start to realize we are not separate."

"In her eighties, by-then the sole occupant (of The Schröder House in Utrcht by Gerrit Rietveld) had to be dissuaded by her sons from her habit of placing the purpose-made ladder on the top rail of the balustrade at the top of the stairwell, so as to climb into the lantern on the roof to sit and read and to look over the flat land. The purpose of unchanging rituals was at once the affirmation and preservation of the architecture."

...

"At some time someone allowed a motorway to be built across the front of the house, as if to confound its magic."

Hometown strolls got me reminiscing.
