The Un-Scientist

This is posted as part of Participants List For the Nineteenth Virtual Symposium Science ...

As I was driving one night to the hot springs in Ojai, the car windows were rolled down. My 20-year-old Sierra inhaled deeply and then said, "Mulefat along the creek. I love that smell!"

"Mulefat, huh?" I said, nonplussed.

She explained that it's a weed that grows alongside creeks and is a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

"I did not know that," I replied, impressed.

Later, when we were soaking in the outdoor tub alongside the creek, Sierra asked me if I knew why the human body is buoyant in water.

"I've learned the reason for that at least half a dozen times in science classes, but it's never stuck in my brain," I said.

She nodded. "Yeah, I'm not sure science is relevant. I only believe in what feels good."

I laughed out loud for several minutes and didn't bother to mention that Sierra actually does find science relevant, since she has retained the information on what constitutes a healthy ecosystem. What I understood is that she and I both pay attention and only retain data that have meaning for us. And I took delight in knowing that my is growing up to be a free-thinking, earth-loving sensualist.

 It's only ever worth remembering stuff you need to know. I fill my brain with useless trivia!

 Sounds like she's growing into a well informed eco-loving adult. To me, this is a good thing.
It's good to have a passion about some things. *S*

Sounds like a good Mother/Daughter bonding time.

That's wonderful as she's moving into the full blown adult portion of her life..
