Constantly, we waiver in the way we name things.
This may be a prairie in some people’s gaze.
And for others, a plain of wonder.
And as I ventured westward towards the coast I became filled with awe.
No longer did struggle to find the word to name what was before me.
Instead, I stopped at feeling awe and inspiration.
So, what can you find and leave unnamed today? Stop for and simply absorb, accept, intentionally marvel at?

Paula Louw, has amazing timing.

This Morning, I also tuned into snails.
My daily walk was stalled by a snail
Making its way across the path. Like in any relationship, if you want your message to be effectively received, being up close shows your intention to connect.

Here is the snail. SNAILS leave a lasting trail marking their paths. They are forever on guard, paying attention to their surroundings, taking shelter under threat.

We humans aren’t too different. Deliberately, choosing to gift yourself , can be achieved with little effort.

You can become your own shelter. Looking inward. Building an internal safe zone.

A recent me_moment came about, one that made me stop, was a sign in this store window in a small Irish seaside town.
“Magic is here”, is what the sign read.
The store window is pictured below.
I ask you to look and see if you can find your
in this picture or another one you cross today.

Somethings just make me smile.

Amid the beautifully ornate resting place of Toronto’s early settlers,
Resting among long growing trees,
There is quiet.
Quietly, locals stroll casually noticing names and dates.
History is apparent,
Obvious.
Seeing engraved dates marking past lives
May bring reflection, pauses even.
As I set towards the exit, looking at the unpaved downhill path,
I was stopped by this sign.
Solitude and magnitude can co exist.

The sign I’ve shared here is a point to ponder.
This is a moment of feeling held amid the great wide world.
