Sometimes I used to stop and pick up a colorful leaf or two as I walked in from the parking lot at work and kept them on my desk near my keyboard. They helped my mental health...LOL.... somehow they kept me connected to the outside while I spent my day, working at the computer.
I can't say how many times acorns have come in with me. My piano is black, so lots of things show up on the edge of it. Other times, white quartz rocks sit on my kitchen windowsill. There are some there right now!
There's just something nice about having a small bit of nature around.
Thank for stopping over !
It reminds me of this poem I wrote ages ago...

I enjoyed reading your poem.
A good reminder to keep picking up the little bits of nature that make us happy, while we can.
I'm glad you liked it.
