Flowers make me happy! I will go out of my
way to get a view of flowers. Seeing them makes me marvel at the Creator! They
are truly inspiring to me!
I walk
around a lake as a form of exercise. The other walkers are usually focused and
often walk right past me, especially when I am by myself. They must think I am
slow.
Perhaps, I am
not as fast as others, but, maybe, that is not the whole story. This is the confession that I will make only
to you, my readers or reader (Who knows how many people would bother to
read this?). I actually stop to look at flowers
(and trees, too). Yes, quirky as it may
seem, I do just that!
I will move in
close to a flower, my face being less than a foot away, and I gaze at it
intently. Then, holding the stem between
my index and middle finger, so that the flower is sitting in my open palm, I
bring it to my nose and smell taking a deep breath of the scent. With some
flowers I touch the petals, too. I use as many senses as I can to enjoy its
beauty. I would really be a mess if the flowers made sounds and tasted good,
too. Sometimes the memory of the scent and vision of the radiance will be with
me for days.
How about
you? Are you a flower stalker, too?
It's cool that you make a habit of that! When I have taken time to do that kind of thing it is very rewarding! Need to do it more often!
