A Myna was on the lawn at day break, the morning after the grass was mowed. With the trimmed grass, birds can find caterpillars and worms easily.
The Myna above, walked slowly and diligently on the grass. It suddenly turned in the opposite direction seeing a movement in the grass. It was quick to pick up the caterpillar between its bills.
The slow and silent walk with attentive search was what I noticed in the Myna's behaviour.
It did not look effortful from a distance of several meters. Its belief in its behaviour fetched it its prey. It conditioned its movements to favour successful foraging!
That was worth watching. Its intensity of attention struck me.
The voyage in life is through different situations and terrains. To make the journey purposeful one needs to live attentively and vigilantly.
A friend's example comes to my mind. This person involved in home schooling of two children, fetches information from parents who are involved in home schooling of their children. Recently a community of children in different stages of home schooling came into being through a collaborative planning. Children now have other children from other families to jointly engage in home schooling with different parents taking turns to instruct them. Most of the activities are experience oriented with diverse activities.
I felt inspired by their insight to make the learning journey of children even more fascinating!
This is acting purposefully and intentionally to get the best out of the chosen path!
