I guess it was so much easier for me to think of this as Zen. Picture yourself walking through this really nice, huge garden. And it's nearly silent except for a gentle breeze and trickling water from a nearby fountain. (a Japanese fountain seen in outtake #2......) Then while walking you see this little guy's sihlouette slowly creeping up that leaf and stop juuuust right so as to only peek his head over. Given the surroundings I was in at the time and the feel of the moment, it seemed pure Zen to me.

thanks for the comment!
