     Crossing the footbridge over Cedar Creek we were intrigued by the sound of Rainbow Lorikeets shrieking away overhead and looked up to see a huge Blue Quandong (Eleaocarpus grandis) absolutely thick with white blossom.   Shrubbery around Peat’s Crossing & adjacent footpath gave us Large-billed Scrubwrens, Brown Gerygones,  Brown Thornbills  and though we couldn’t see him a male Striated Pardalote was calling up in the eucalypts with that frantic note that says “I’m ready for you girls”!

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. The Way of Natural History, edited by Thomas Lowe Fleischner and published by Trinity University Press (Texas)
