The Un-Scientist
The Un-Scientist This is posted as part of Participants List For the Nineteenth Virtual Symposium Science ... As I was driving one night to the hot springs in Ojai, the car windows were rolled down. My 20-year-old Sierra inhaled deeply and then said, "Mulefat along the creek. I love that smell!" "Mulefat, huh?" I said, nonplussed. She explained that it's a weed that grows alongside creeks and is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. "I did not know that," I replied, impressed. Later, when we were soaking in the outdoor tub alongside the creek, Sierra asked me if I knew why the human body is buoyant in water. "I've learned the reason for that at least half a dozen times in science classes, but it's never stuck in my brain," I said. She nodded. "Yeah, I'm not sure science is relevant. I only believe in what feels good." I laughed out loud for several minutes and didn't bother to mention that Sierra actually does find science relevant, since she has retained the information on what constitutes a healthy ecosystem. What I understood is that she and I both pay attention and only retain data that have meaning for us. And I took delight in knowing that my is growing up to be a free-thinking, earth-loving sensualist. {=}{=}{=} BiPolyBabe69 |

Sounds like she's growing into a well informed eco-loving adult. To me, this is a good thing. It's good to have a passion about some things. *S* Sounds like a good Mother/Daughter bonding time. That's wonderful as she's moving into the full blown adult portion of her life.. Bud Always Ready for Fun.
