A colleague told me this week about her adventures cycling to work. How she had seen parrots nesting in the wild on a city block. The conversation she had with a table of guys on their day off who worked at the UN. The pace and feel of the city.I miss that from my scooter adventure. The ability to see things and smell things that you miss in a car.
This week I started walking to restaurants on my lunch hour. My favorite vegan spot is a mile away. Yes, it takes time to get there, but the weather is lovely. Here is what I experienced that I normally miss:
- A carpet of purple flowers in a grassy space.
- A hidden park under an overpass.
- A dandelion pushing through the sidewalk.
- The smell of bread from a bakery.
- The sunshine on my face.
- A light breeze in my hair.
There was so much beauty to be had simply by making a small change. I wonder what else is out there?
