In today’s daily prompt, the question asks,
When you gaze out your window — real or figurative — do you see the forest first, or the trees?
fox in the forest

When i gaze outside my window, all I can see are forests. Forests that goes endless for days. I’m a fox, reeled into the depths of the realm that goes beyond every step further deeper into the unknown. As i stroll down the uncharted forest, curiosity makes me want to go travel even more. I passed by a tree, charmed by its existence.
Just as i was about to stop to enjoy its magnificence, i saw another tree beside, this tree, is different, but in didn’t end there, the next tree, its sleek figure. The next tree sways gently with the slow calm wind. Another tree rattles its leaves upon my arrival, kindly acknowledging my appearance, seeking attention.
The calling won’t end. I couldn’t stop like I’ve wished, to enjoy its beauty because every step i take hoped that i would find the perfect tree.
All i see is the big forest, too fast to stop for any tree, but maybe, just maybe, once the time is done, and the I would then stop for a tree.

Thank you for this post. I needed that. I wrote it down. Now I need to go help my husband who can’t think like he used to but still wants to do the chores around the house. His landscape has changed. Mine too as his partner. I will be thinking about those goals I have, my barriers, and asking God for a comparison to what His are for me. Thanks.
Hi Cathy,
I hope things works out between you and your husband. It helps if both of you are in this together and talking it out.
Yes it does. Thanks.
I saw a fox on the bike path the other day – in the midst of a concrete jungle … I think your fox is better off 🙂 Anyway, just stopping in to see what others wrote about for the prompt – Cheers!
Thank you! 🙂 well foxes should never be out alone in a concrete jungle, that’s for sure.
