RE: Hidden Beauty in the Garden

in Proof of Brain4 years ago

What a wonderful reminder! I cannot tell you how many things (especially lately) that I just let slip by, barely without notice. Being mindful takes practice, but, it is what saves me in the end.

Illinca is such a beautiful bridge to remind you of things you might have missed. I can see in real life, this is what happens when your life is consumed with making a living and making a life for your family. Finally! Your grandaughter is giving you those special memories that only grandchildren can give. I know it makes your life busy, but, I am pretty sure you wouldn't have it any other way.

Your garden is abundant and the roses are spectacular, the vinca vine, the colors all meshing into one spectacular explosion of colors and shapes. Mine has done the same and once I stopped giving it that everyday attention, it took off, and now, the colors are everywhere. When did that happen? Seems like life is so busy, all over again.

I thought it might slow down for you a bit, but, it is busy with your grandaughter and catching up again. I think you do a great job of managing it all, Dan! @bluemoon. Your post is such a pleasure and a gentle reminder to me. It is always the small things, but, try as I might, some things slip by.

I tried to pull up the #always a flower on Wednesday and Thursday and I do not know why this one didn't pop up. Sorry! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for posting the beauty!

Illinca is such a beautiful bridge, a superb and true comparison. I didn't think that way but you're right, thank you.
Yes, I am busier and busier, it seems incredible to me that this period that I imagined calm and quiet can be so full.
I think it's the same with you. It seems very interesting and strange to me at the same time ... We (that is, you and me) are so different in everything, the level and the life system so different and yet so many similar things happen to us. I'm glad for that and thank you!

This is so true! I hadn't really thought of it that way but, you are right. But, different as we are, it was never a question of being friends or not... we just are. :))

Fortunately, yes!
