on a walk, i collect things—
pointy things, tiny things, velvety petals, beautiful leaves, memories, wishes, small moments of peace and happiness

Nice photo, Sylvia! That spike ball looks like the Corona virus. I think. ❤️

So here’s what I did: I stopped among a huge pile and picked out the prickliest one with the little stem that I could find. Then I carried it in my hand for a mile. When I got to my car, I placed it between my hood and my windshield and thought, “I am absolutely NOT going to forget to put this in the car”. I put the dog in the car seat, took my sweater off, walked around to the drivers seat and drove off. When I got to the little convenience store down the road from my house, I remembered the seed pod and my heart dropped. But there it was, exactly where I had left it. So….. 1. My memory is shot 2. The seedpod was stubborn 3. I care way too much about such things

A great story Sylvia. I too care about silly little things too.
1 The resilience of the power of seeds is strong and they became attached to your caring. ❤
2 I can’t remember what else I was going to write 🤪

thank you…it’s why I don’t listen to things on headphones when I walk, I don’t think the moments of peace would be the same
