WHAT TO NOTICE
The eyes.
More specifically, what the eyes are looking at.
A Brenda regularly notices the small thing everyone else walked past: unusual light, movement in the grass, a strange insect, the shape of a seed pod, an unexpected pattern or a bird doing something peculiar.
Stopping abruptly is normal behavior.
HOW SHE LIVES:
Brendas are curious, creative, and highly industrious.
They are natural wanderers, although wandering should not be confused with aimlessness.
An observation usually produces a question. The question produces more questions, essays, photographs and field guides.
THE INTERESTING PART
A Brenda is not satisfied with simply seeing something beautiful, they want to know what she is looking at. That includes nature, landscapes, and people too.
Easy to laugh, highly sensitive and wowed by natural environments.
WHERE TO FIND HER:
Finding a Brenda is the most challenging task. She can always be found with Charlie. And she is most reliably found in Telluride. But can also be seen (if you follow her on social media) in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, in the bus slow rolling down the highway, or getting lost in the forest.
WORDS TO KNOW:
Wander – To move through the world with enough curiosity to discover something you weren’t looking for.
Glow Through – The moment something previously unseen becomes so vivid, that you can’t stop staring.
Merakai – Doing something with soul, creativity, and love.
