Though all of my zoo visits have been delightful, I've not made frequent trips since Julia and Gar lost interest in these family outings several years ago. So, I'm amazed that I've been to two wonderful zoos 1400 miles apart within the past week. And, absence of giraffes at one, was contrasted by the special opportunity to actually feed a giraffe at the other.
Since I readily seize new opportunities, I would have eagerly embraced the chance to feed a giraffe this week. However, it wouldn't have had the same significance, had I not realized the previous week, that not all great zoos have giraffes.
Interestingly, this made me vividly aware that sometimes absence, contrasted with presence, enhances the impact and appreciation.
