Chipmunk Balance


There was a small Chipmunk hunting in a patch of grass just North of the cabin. I was struck by the balance she struck between having her head down in the grass, and having it up on the alert for what was going on around her. I admired her ability to find this balance between doing and watching, between action and vigilance. My culture invites me to be off balance, favoring vigilance over action. I am left wondering about the effects these invitations have on my experience and choices.
