A new approach…

By Vichara


Reach out, take another step forward, investigate a new theory, read from something you wouldn’t normally read from, see with your eyes closed, draw something even though you think you are not artistic, walk backwards…ok, maybe that one could be a bad idea, but I think you get the point. Today would be a good time to get a new perspective, a fresh approach, exercise your mind, body and soul with a new way of looking at things. You may find that amongst the push-ups and sit-ups you do with your mind that one nugget that will reveal a new and better understanding. Ok everybody, let’s go exploring!

peregrine • \PAIR-uh-grin\ • adjective
: having a tendency to wander

Example Sentence:
"Birders are peregrine by nature, typically traveling to distant destinations in pursuit of their hobby. . .." (James F. McCarty, Plain Dealer [Cleveland], June 1, 2006)

Did you know?
The current meaning of "peregrine" has wandered a bit from its earlier meanings. The word originally meant "foreign," as did its Latin predecessor "peregrinus." But even before "peregrine" appeared on its own in English, it was part of the name of that well-known bird of prey, the peregrine falcon. The bird's appellation derives from "falco peregrinus" -- literally, "pilgrim falcon" in Medieval Latin. Peregrine falcons typically nest in high places, such as on cliff ledges or, in modern times, city skyscrapers. Because of the nests' inaccessibility, medieval falconers who wanted young peregrine falcons to train had capture them on their first flights or migratory "pilgrimages." That practice led to a new sense of "peregrine" ("engaged in or traveling on a pilgrimage"), which was later broadened to "wandering."
