In taking one step forward and concentrating so hard on just continuing forward, looking to reach that far off goal, we often miss each day. The cliche stop and smell the flowers has much validity.

And that is but one tiny piece of what we pass each day in our striving to get more stuff.

I certainly would not want to find myself guilty of bowing before a monetarymaterial god on a single day better suited for fishing with your kids.
Imagine what would happen if we were all so busy with our personal little worlds that we couldn't spare the time to raise our children and make sure our existence was in sync with our Planet.
You are good medicine, Norma.
so profound in thought, i love he way your sincere heart shines through
in the piece Norma, because each thought is rendered a notion
of wisdom and reveals an experience to regard, you have an excellent
way with creating ambience, thanks for sharing your talent.
