Oh deer!

I was walking up the road this early evening before dinner, and there was a little deer eating. When I walked by, she looked up and stared at me, almost curious. Instead of walking away she resumed eating. After taking a bunch of pictures hoping to catch a bit of the magic, I started back up the road, and within a few feet, was drawn back to the deer, who was now even closer to the road. I squatted down off the road and hung out for awhile, co-existing with the little deer. I thought if I stayed long enough, she might come closer, but another person walked by and the spell was broken.

Oh dear little deer. Thanks for showing me what non-attachment and gentle fearlessness looks like.
