A rich nature lies at our feet – we just have to want to see it.
Of course. It’s another one of those mindfulness things.
But seriously. Keep your eyes open and actively try to find places where nature is reclaiming its space.
For example, along the roadside, which appears unkempt. Yet, “unkempt” usually means the same as “not weeded.” I only really find it “unkempt” when people have left their traces there.
If, on the other hand, dandelions burst forth from cracks, then I rejoice at the beautiful colors.
Even succulents on double-bar fences are a nice change. Or can be.
Just now, after a very difficult conversation, this sight caught my eye:
There is plenty of variety in shapes and colors to admire. And all along the roadside – at our feet.
The question arises for me: Does that not affect you?
It feels, I think, great. And many of the everyday worries that plague me (or you) are then, at least for a short while, blown away…
I can’t feel bad when I see something beautiful. That’s why I practice mindfulness: for myself and for others.
