Close Encounter of the Wildlife Kind
We live across the road from a lake/nature area that is one of our favorite places to walk. We do see wildlife there, like the turkeys that took over the road last week. But this kind of up close and personal wildlife sighting is unusual. This time I had the camera which is unusual.

When we first say the fawns they were directly in front of us on the sidewalk. Mom was nowhere in sight. We stopped in amazement at these two little ones, still with their spots. Then we started walking very slowly toward them talking quietly and gently. I was able to start taking an occasional photo without frightening them.

Mom intervenes and eventually gets the fawns into the tall grass.

They stay in the tall grass, feeding, until finally, the white flags fly and they go bounding across the field, disappearing over the ridge.

Different is Not a Value Judgment
Being different can be a scary thing. Judgment usually accompanies the word different and often it is a negative judgment.
People not only distrust what is different they often fear it. Why? If we accept different ideas, beliefs, ways of doing things, even people, we may find ourselves and our way of life changing. One of the biggest fears of humankind is change.
Do you realize that the word different itself is not a value judgment? Different can be positive, negative or just different.
When we refuse to open ourselves to new things we become stagnant, life becomes boring and problems take on a life all their own. When we refuse to make room in our lives for people who are different we are refusing the wonderful gifts they may have to offer. Can we really afford to squander the gifts of anyone in a world so much in need of fresh ideas?

“If there’s any message to my work, it is ultimately that it’s OK to be different, that it’s good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.” — Johnny Depp
