A group walked to the Coomera Falls and return and a group continued on to do the full Coomera Circuit. The rain held off until all the falls had been visited. Despite the dry weather all the falls had lots of water and looked spectacular as usual. We had lunch as we just got up to the Border Track and just before the rain started. With the Coomera Circuit basically "done" we all walked briskly to the finish at The Teahouse to try to keep ourselves dry, but despite rainjackets, we all got thoroughly wet. A change of clothing and a dry towel from Michele had us feeling much better so we could enjoy our coffee and cake and discuss another spectacular Coomera Circuit hike.

Why does attentiveness to nature matter? In a very fundamental sense, we are what we pay attention to. Paying heed to beauty, grace, and everyday miracles promotes a sense of possibility and coherence that runs deeper and truer than the often illusory commercial, social "realities" advanced by mainstream contemporary culture. ... Our attention is precious, and what we choose to focus it on has enormous consequences. What we choose to look at, and to listen to--these choices change the world. As Thich Nhat Hanh has pointed out, we become the bad television programs that we watch. A society that expends its energies tracking the latest doings of the celebrity couple is fundamentally distinct from one that watches for the first arriving spring migrant birds, or takes a weekend to check out insects in a mountain stream, or looks inside flowers to admire the marvelous ingenuities involved in pollination. The former tends to drag culture down to its lowest commonalities; the latter can lift us up in a sense of unity with all life.
