Next Time


808 - Copy
Next time,
I will rest walk.
I will not flit from flower to flower like a butterfly,
capturing this and that in my digital memory.
As fun as that is, next time,
I will think walk.
I will not adrenalin-rush the next tooth and claw scene,
trying not to miss, trying not to blink.
Next time,
I will pray walk,
absorbing the wonder, wondering at the wandering soul I am,
loving the undeserved gift for itself in just this moment.
Next time.

    What a beautiful peaceful place you have captured. I want to sit there too.

    Such a lovely place. Where is it? Love the poem too! Deep breaths, slowing down, etc. I’m still learning that too.

    Great reminder to put the snapshots in our own memory and heart.

    So pretty. There was a botanical garden in Omaha. I miss that place.
