Three Questions, March 30, 2025

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

Today on my walk, as spring is in full bloom I passed by a pack of fennel. Fennel is actually an invasive species here that grows everywhere. Pulling some leaves into my hand and rolling it around, taking a deep breath and smelling the anise scent of those leaves was the most beautiful thing I encountered today.

What did I learn today?

I read a cool article about the new ecosystem found in Antarctica after an ice shelf broke off and floated away. Very cool.

What made me happy today?

On my walk I decided to do a couple loops around the park and playground. So the cutest little toddler doing the oddest thing and it made me laugh. He had the most curious way of running. Whenever he would run, he would put his hands up behind his head and bolt. Seems like a great way to fall on your face but he seemed fine with it.
