I’m not sure I’ve ever liked the chubby, Coca-Cola Santa Clause. My kind of St Nicholas is thin and robed, like the carving my grandfather made me many years ago.

Intentional Observation: Beach, grass
10 December 2011 3 Comments
One of the things that makes the prairie the prairie are the grasses, perhaps especially here in Nebraska, in the Sandhills. Earlier this week I traveled to Florida, somewhat unexpectedly, and had some time in between activities to comb the beach.
While so combing, I wondered to myself why it is people are more likely to intentionally observe — to move slowly and pay attention — on the beach than other places. Are most beach combers retired (and other young kids, so to speak, who are on the beach jogging or surfing)? Is it that people associate the beach with relaxation? Is there something about the sound of the waves and the expanse of the water (if so, why do people find the expanse of grass on the prairies so lifeless in comparison)?

Picked up at our farmer’s market, both my wife and I found this fruit to be very beautiful.
