Stopping To Smell the Flowers

My partner usually sees them.

Then he stops to point them out.

Convinced I’ve not yet had enough treats in my day,

he encourages me to take my time … to enjoy them.

To smell them.

To photograph them.

To admire them.

At whatever stage they’re in.

I’m attempting to adventure peacefully—to travel and live in a way that supports a peaceful climate.  It’s meaningful.  It’s sustainable.  It’s imperfect.  Let’s begin this journey by honoring the Indigenous, by wisely bypassing those who harm, and by joining the UN.  Because everyone deserves peace.  |  XO, Kristen
