Many pairs of eyes seen and welcomed

A camera provides visual records of observations and experiences by transferring them to a recording device. Our sensory organs work for us and others by collecting the events we encounter and storing them in our memory for later use and potentially sharing them with others in a comparable system. Thanks should be given to the community around us for expanding the number of observations we would miss without our connections to others.

This train of thought can be overwhelming as we consider all the avenues of information available and the information we have stored to use. While I’m writing this, Pepper is staring at me and occasionally scratching at my leg to make sure I get the message that it is time for her breakfast. She has a daily routine built into her canine mind to use and communicate when needed.

Think back over the past week and consider the experiences and information you received to process. If you are reading this article, you are picking and choosing from the information available. It’s nice to have a choice of what to seek. Where do the collection systems at work exist that can serve your needs or have the potential to provide unexpected rewards?
