I have many stories to share about my work as an ecologist. But today’s story is really about one time when I was in the office. The company had just gone through a major change. Another company bought it. The process was somewhat convoluted, but when all was said and done, the new company was Connel Metcalf & Eddy. That is another story in itself. As part of the company changes, we became more organized and efficient, and some new people were brought on board. One area where these changes took place was the supply room. A new person came on board to manage the supplies. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was from Boston and had a thick Bostonian accent. We became good friends.
On this particular day, I was in the office, writing a report, and needed something from the supply room. I was looking for whatever it was at the time when Frank walked in and asked me, “What ah you lookin’ faw?” Without thinking, I said, “Peace of mind, Frank. Peace of mind.” He just laughed and said, “I can’t help you, theyah,” and walked out of the room.
The thing is, I didn’t know that I was going to say that until the words came out of my mouth. And, the thing is, I meant it.
We are all looking for peace of mind whenever we can find it. That’s a good thing. I think that actively and deliberately being part of nature often helps to bring us peace of mind.
