No Boundaries

"Books or no books, it is a fact, patent both to my dog and myself,

 that at daybreak I am the sole owner of all the acres I can walk

 over.  It is not only boundaries that disappear, but also the 

thought of being bounded.  Expanses unknown to deed or

map are known to every dawn, and solitude, supposed no

 longer to exist in my country, extends on every hand as far

 as the dew can reach...  I step from my cabin door bearing

 in either hand my emblems of sovereignty, a coffee pot 

and a note book.  I get out my watch, pour coffee, and 

lay notebook on knee.  This is the cue for the 

proclamation to begin." - Aldo Leopold

The idea of owning land is backwards.  No one owns the

 land it is exactly the opposite; the land owns us.  How nice

 it would be to walk anywhere one wanted to explore and

 just watch life around us.  Times have gotten bad when 

you think anyone that comes near your land is trying to steal

 it or something else from you.  An idea - if we all

owned less then there would be less to steal.  We, as current 

members of the human population, must make a change.  

Less time spent amusing oneself in front of screens and 

more time amusing ourselves outside or with other people.

  Life is to intricate to waste away watching other people

 live their lives thousands of miles away.  It is you who 

support them by watching their shows.  Why not go 

outside instead and watch nature interact.  Wake up 

really early or go out late at night and just observe.  

Once quiet and solitude ease the mind then let your 

other senses take over.  Breathe the crisp morning air 

or place your hand over the wet dew that forms on the 

grass overnight.  Listen to the birds instead of the radio.  

"Once you have heard or read the news once in your life...

 that is all you will need.  It pretty much repeats."  You 

will be amazed at what goes on outside your doors every 

day that you are blind too.  What would you rather pass

 on to your children - the migratory pattern of local birds,

paths of the sun and moon, songs of local birds or the

 latest episode/season of Dancing with the Stars. 

 Evolution is taking place all around us.. are we 

going to hide inside and ignore it or are we going to 

become the predominate species by listening to the 

stories that are being told outside our doors everyday!
