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 ways that support a peaceful climate.  Internally and externally.  So life is sustainable.  Always imperfect at this, I lean on gratitude.  For the Indigenous, for peaceful nations, for the ability to bypass those who harm.

“Smile, breathe, and go slowly.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
