Heroes Not Zombies

I’ve often mentioned the French phrase “l’émerveillement du quotidien” here. It roughly translates as the wonder of the everyday. It’s a key concept for me. It’s what brings me happiness and peace in life.

Well, I certainly find that I am continuously surprised by what I encounter and so take a look at this little colony of mushrooms which I found growing on an old tree stump in my garden. Aren’t they incredible?

I’m no fungus expert and I don’t know what these are but they might be “Brittlestems”.

Whatever name someone has given they are simply astonishing and quite beautiful.

Little encounters like this paint the day in shades of joy and wonder.
