Beautiful Moments: Toes in the Grass and Found Expressions of Joy, Love and Art

Finding unexpected art in an alleyway,

wondering about the person whose hands held the brush.

Connecting with nature,

feeling the life under rough bark and soft moss,

touching the essence of living things.

Finding chalk on the sidewalk,

inspiration to spread love in the world

to whomever should pass.

Feeling the morning dew on my toes,

enjoying a moment of sunshine and solitude before starting the day.

Allowing the world to share its words,

little bits of joy and new ways to express

what it means to be human and present in the world.
