Camouflaged
Sometimes when I’m sitting outside in my wheelchair, squirrels and birds come to rest right next to me. I thought, at times, that I had some kind of weird spiritual connection to these animals. What was really going on was that because I sat so quietly and motionless I became invisible to them. I was camouflaged among my patio furniture and other objects around me. It is fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Is this what happens to me when I’m with other people?

Being invisible can be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThey were watching you.
You did not show a threat to them, so they went on their way.
If only humans did not constantly show a threat to each other.
Nice blog you have here.
