As soon as you come in sight of this pond, you hear dozens of little splashes - and see absolutely nothing. This time we settled at the edge of the pond for a snack. After a while, we noticed odd little globs on the rocks, and then in the water, and realized we were being watched by eyes everywhere. This one hung motionless in the water the whole time like a little meditation master. I thought of Blaise Pascal's comment about man's inability to sit quietly.
