Amid The Clumps Of Banana Trees And Reeds ~ Nature Tuesday

About two thousand feet southwest of my house there is a hill that is often used for motocross training even though since the beginning of this year I have not heard or seen the crossers rehearsing there. But last Saturday there seemed to be some people training there.

Since about five years living in this environment, I’ve never seen them closely but last Saturday I felt interested to see how they did it there. There is a road to get to that location to the bottom of the hill but it is a detour that has to pass through a highway, and I chose to take a shortcut that must pass through a vacant land that is also hilly and filled with bushes or banana trees.

I don’t know whether the path I passed has ever passed by someone else even though around me,  at least a hundred and fifty meters away there are several houses, because there really isn’t any trace here, water or human footprint. Still a few hundred meters away to arrive at the destination from where I had taken this picture, at the end of the crowd of banana trees that were quite tightly popping up in the middle of the weeds, which made me have to move carefully because I didn’t bring anything to separate it all, and to make sure my steps are safe.

      • It is interesting, Albert. The breadth of what we consider good curiosity, and what we call bad curiosity is interesting.

        I know as an employee asking questions is a good thing.
        I know that as a parent, I am not always happy when my children ask questions!

        • Curious indeed often face or even collide with various things. In terms of nature which is always in a dynamic balance, human action based on curiosity will only be compensated by a reaction after it occurs – such as weather changes (thought to have happened) and the anxiety of scientists who are concerned with curiosity and the dangerous trials on dark matter – while in humans, curiosity is often hostile as well as needed. “Why” is often countered by various authorities even though it has also been proven to lead us to internet civilization today.

          • I am not sure I follow your point, Albert.

            If the end game of curious is to learn, then within reason it is good.
            If the end game of curiosity is to annoy, then it is to be determined by the receiver.

        • I am talking about pure curiosity, as seen by scientists, truth seekers (spiritualists, Sufis, etc.), or anyone throughout history who is not satisfied with the existing paradigmatic of boundaries, senses, theories, rules, teachings. Pure as a curiosity that is not only because of the desire to violate, get around, or interfere. Many examples throughout history, such as Galileo Galilei.
