The daily morning walk is a time for reflection. It is when I am with myself and with the elements of nature.
If I’m sad and see a bud blossoming into a flower or a white rose smiling at me from a bed of thorns, I know the Universe has a message for me.
At this moment, there is a profound stillness, a pause between the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It is a time to reflect, to appreciate the beauty in transience, and to embrace the promise of new beginnings.
Cherry petals fall—
A soft bed of pink on earth,
Spring’s tender whisper.

My greatest time to reflect is on hikes. I have taken pictures on hikes and every time I look at a picture I can feel where I was at that moment in my life. Love it
