During my morning runs I ponder and play with words and ideas in my mind. I stop occasionally to photograph moments and make connections. Today I approached the seaside part of my running route and noticed an object that looked like a blue crab half the size of a basketball on the rocks. It moved. It moved again. Woah, my mind whirled.
At first I thought it needed saving and asked a couple seated on the rocks above if they noticed it. They shot blank stares back at me.
I scrambled down the bank to the shore and my heart leaped as the creature moved again. What fun I thought; a discovery of the day. I will take a photo and help the crab back into the sea.
What did seem to be a sea creature, reality turned into a deflated birthday balloon. Waving to the couple, I called, "Just a balloon." Where were their curious minds anyway? Curiosity sated, I forgot to take a photo.
Take time to follow your curiosity in writing today. Don't take anything for granted.
